Jeff, that is a good tip – should have remembered it myself.

I am actually fasting today being it is Yom Kippur but have periods where I try not to use my credit card at all and save a little more.

We’ve tried to do a spending fast but something always comes up, so instead we try to have a certain number of no-spend days each month.

I think this is a great idea with one caution…

Many people splurge after a fast. For example, when I was in high school we had a 24 hour fast once a year, but then got together for a huge feast the next day.

Just make sure that you’re actually cutting out the purchases for the time period, not just delaying them until the fast is over and trying to make it all up.
