I have this bad habit of if I see a book I want, I will just go to the Powell's website.

Powell's is the local bookstore in Portland where I go to all the time.

And I instead of just going into the store, I will preorder it and then just go in to pick it up.

And I realize it probably takes me just as long to just like do that versus going into the store.

So why not enjoy perusing the shelves, which is one of the joys of going to a bookstore.

And then the following week of February, I'm only going to use cash.

And I have not done that maybe ever in my life, actually.

So I'm going to see how that goes.

The third week of February, I am not going to use my phone to buy anything, not even tapping Apple Pay at a register.

I'll be pulling out my wallet and we'll see how that goes.

And then the final week of the month, I'm just going to forego takeout on my phone, which is a bad habit of mine, especially on the weekends.

I want to order food and it gets really expensive because it's so easy to do.

I just keep buying more than I maybe would otherwise.

So those are how I'm going to be adding friction to my spending in February.

Yes.

Man.

You're asking questions I have not asked myself.

So I will let you know when I have answers to them, but I imagine I'll take out maybe a couple hundred dollars in CFR that gets me.

I'm fortunate that I don't drive a ton, so I actually might be able to get away without filling up my gas tank for a week because, yeah, I don't like going into a gas station to get there.

cash because how do you know how much is going to fill up your tank, right?
