It's great to find other people doing similar things! I’ve just started a no-spend year myself and had no idea it was so popular until I started googling!

I'm going to try something like this next year. I'm halfway there at the moment - and I feel much better for it. It is a great test of "mind over matter". Fair play to your friends.

It is a great test of “mind over matter”.

It really becomes a way of life. I think that the group of friends decided to do it for another year says something. GInger - just keep reading. There are lots of great sites to get more ideas from under my <a href="http://www.bloggingawaydebt.com/living-frugal/" rel="nofollow">Living Frugal</a> links. Matt - I've heard about the book. I'm hoping a blogger gives it away so I can have a chance to read it. It would be weird to buy a book that's called "Not Buying It" :P Dawn – you’re welcome :)

I can only imagine what it would be like to have all that extra money; I just don't think I'd be disciplined enough. Going out for dinner or to the bar are my rewards from time to time.

We are trying bery hard not to spend any money at all by reusing/recycling what we have around us and also trying to be very creative for things we do have around the house. That means that garbage bags are essentially plastic bags from the supermarket, baby oil becomes bath oil, makeup remover and skin moisturizer, etc. I'm enjoying the experience so far.

I had not heard about this before. It has really really gotten me thinking. I dont think I have the will-power to cut out as much as these people did, but I am inspired to make a change. Thanks for keeping me thinking about the big picture! :) Thank you for sharing this! I had not heard about this before. It has really really gotten me thinking.
