WSJ Your Money Briefing · Some Americans Are Vowing to Buy Less or Even Nothing This Year · 31 Jan 2025 podcast

Here's your Money Briefing for Friday, January 31st. voice-verified

I'm Arianna Aspuru for The Wall Street Journal. voice-verified

To save money, some people are ditching their shopping carts and pledging to buy less or even nothing this year. voice-verified

Wall Street Journal reporter Anne-Marie Alcántara joins me to discuss how people are cutting their spending by embracing the no-buy 2025 trend. voice-verified

That's after the break. voice-verified

This year, some people are replacing their big shopping hauls with nothing and committing to a social media trend to save money. voice-verified

Wall Street Journal reporter Anne-Marie Alcántara joins me. voice-verified

Anne-Marie, walk me through what No Buy 2025 looks like. voice-verified

We've seen these buy nothing pledges and groups pop up online a few times in recent years. voice-verified

Why are people bringing back this trend now? voice-verified

As with any budget, there are rules. voice-verified

So I feel like we should lay down some of those rules. voice-verified

What are some examples that are automatic no buys if you're doing this trend? voice-verified

Food, water, automatic yeses. voice-verified

If you're tempted to buy something but are trying to hold up this no-buy promise, what kinds of questions should you ask yourself to know if you should actually click checkout online? voice-verified

And giving yourself a grace period of like, you know what, I'm going to put this in my cart five days later. voice-verified

I'll see if I still want it. voice-verified

Did I actually want it in the first place? voice-verified

Exactly. voice-verified

Are there any other money saving lessons or hacks we can learn from this trend, even if you can't totally commit to no buy 2025? voice-verified
