But if you just set your expectations too high and you wanna not spend anything for an entire month and that's not realistic and you end up having to spend some money, then you feel like you failed and what was the point, right? So make it something that is doable for you.” - Ashley Patrick Timestamps: 00:00 - Introduction to today's episode 02:37 - No spend challenge 04:14 - Make it doable 06:41 - Pantry or Freezer challenge 10:07 - The $5 challenge 12:36 - No eating out challenge 14:43 - The Money Plan Bootcamp If you're ready to get out of debt, start saving money, and have your best year yet, check out the Kickstart 2023 Bundle.
