September Numbers Are In

How is there only one day left in September? Wow!

I'm shooting for a no spend day and thus posting September's Numbers now. This month I had ten NO SPEND days. That's the most no spends I've gotten into a single month since March. The $10 a day challenge for ten days really brought my average down and kept my spending for the month on the low end. I am very happy with how this month turned out financially. Now my biggest challenge is going to be not having an enormous upswing for October. My spending usually goes up and down from month to month. Two low spending months in a row makes me a little nervous.

Our average daily spending for 2015 is $17.65 a day

Average daily spending for September: $14.98
