Grant me, O Lord my God, a mind to know you, a heart to seek you, wisdom to find you, conduct pleasing to you, faithful perseverance in waiting for you, and a hope of finally embracing you. Amen.
– St. Thomas Aquinas

I did a no-spend January a few years back, and it permanently reset my spending habits! Have you ever done one before?
I also need to list a bunch of stuff on Ebay this month. I'm just so terrible at getting into a habit about doing it!
We tried a no spend month once last year on a whim, but stopped after about three weeks due to purchases I forgot we had planned to buy. The timing is MUCH better this time around! Six days in and so far, so good!
