In 2008, Mark Boyle lived an entire year without money and became The Moneyless Man. Boyle implemented ingenuity and creativity during his journey. He bartered and foraged for what he needed and learned how to do more with less.
Although I wouldn't want to take on that extreme of a challenge myself, I have been intrigued by his experience. How long could you go without spending $1? Could you go for even one day without spending any money?
In last week's Savvy Tidbit newsletter, I challenged our readers to spend today, Tuesday, September 7th as a Moneyless Day. Followers of The Savvy Life are going the entire day without spending any money. That means brewing their own coffee, taking their lunch to work and making dinner at home.
Will you join us for the challenge?

I'm digging this "Wednesday Night Time Out" idea. Last night, before heading to Fearless Fitness to pick up Dante, I stopped by Bella Nails in San Mateo and had my eyebrows waxed. I have thick brows that get unruly - fast. This was the first time I had gone to Bella and am so pleased that I did. They were able to take me on very short notice. A woman by the name of Kristen did my brows and she was fantastic! It's amazing how good it feels to have my eyebrows professionally groomed.
After I picked up Dante, we headed home and just hung out. While he intermittently watched Star Wars Episode 1 for the 1,000th time, we put together a puzzle, watered the front and back yard, played catch, talked about the change of seasons and enjoyed the last of the long summer days.
When Paul got home with our Wednesday night pizza, I enjoyed my two slices with a Newcastle poured into a frosted pint glass. We watched the previous night's episode of America's Got Talent that we had recorded. It was nice to be able to immediately watch the results that we were recording while watching the previous episode. I was very sad to see Alice Tan Ridley go. Every time she sang I became emotional and choked up. What a voice! I have a feeling she will be ok with record labels lining up at her door to sign her.
One of the best parts of my Wednesday Night Time Out is knowing that the long holiday weekend is just two days away!
