A recovering overspender explains how she makes a game out of having a 'no-spend day' to break bad habits and get her finances back on track
Sowden said her recent marriage was another contributing factor to her recent shift in financial decision-making."My husband is a super saver, and I didn't want to be the weak link in that pairing." One trend she's promoted is the"no-spend day" challenge. It's one that's sweeping TikTok, with videos under the hashtag generating about 1.7 million total views.
"A 'no-spend day' sounds really easy, but it's not. Not when you're first starting, because you get bored, because being alive and doing things costs money, and it gives you a feeling of an accomplishment," she said."People like it because it's a game." "Usually when you look at what you spend in a day, you're like, lunch is $10, coffee is $3 — so three days of that is $45, and it does add up in a way you wouldn't expect," she said."Some people do 'no spend' for pitfall items across months — like for me, it's clothes."
"That was a game changer for me," she said, adding that she also deleted shopping apps off of her phone.
