End Of No Spend February and Results.



A massive shout out to Sharon for organising this No Spend Month.


I have had an awesome month, I managed to cut my Zero based budget down,( who would have thought that possible) and as a result of this I have saved an extra $180. My savings were..


Petrol $10 ( cut back on two of the 4 weeks by $5 )

Mad money $110 ( cut back $ 30 on 3 of the weeks and $20 on the fourth )

Grocery money ( cut 2 of my 4 weeks back by $30 )


So if you add those savings to my snowflakes for the month, most of which were overtime money. I am going to be adding $1,000 into debt 1 )


Savings this month came to $920.00 this was divided up between my Holiday Fund, Emergency Fund, long time Savings Fund, and a personal debt, not to be confused with my debt bars.


Normal Debt payments came to $165 divided between Debt 1 } and Debt 2 )


Bills were covered as usual, with money put aside weekly.


So all up a successful month, yippee when are we having the next one ?????
