Notes from the first 6 weeks of my low spend experiment

What I’ve learned so far, where I stuck to my initial plan for this experiment, and where I broke the rules.

My dear reader.

I’m halfway through my 90-day low spend experiment, and today I’ll share how it’s been going – what I’ve learned so far, where I stuck to my initial plan for this experiment and where I broke the rules, plus intentions for the next six weeks.

As always when I write about money I ask that you stay grounded in the fact that none of this is prescriptive, and that I am just one person living one version of life from within my own specific set of circumstances. In other words: take what works and leave what doesn’t, and please be gentle with yourself and others in the comments. (Ya’ll are already the best at this, but I like to say it anyway!)

Okay, onward.
