Days in December not spending money: 18.

Most of the gifts purchases listed here are actually paid for out of my Christmas fund, not extra money from my paycheck. I put away a little every month throughout the year to save up all the money I budget for the holidays so that I’m not putting stress on myself at the end of the year.

Being at home for a week cause of my injury also helped save money on gas. It probably saved me $60 or more.

I’m gonna stop doing these in March, which will be a year worth of $0 days. Maybe I’ll post a big grand total in March with an average or something. But I think they’ve served their purpose, and spending as little as possible has become more of a habit than anything.
