Is There Life After Retirement?

Seems Easy, But …

Posted on: November 18, 2025

I just issued myself a challenge: At some point within the next week, I will go an entire day – the whole 24 hours – without spending any money. Ongoing subscriptions and automatic deductions don’t count. I mean, I will not reach into my wallet, my bank account or my plastic and BUY anything. Not online, not in a store, not that cute little Kind Mini Bar at a checkout station at a store that I will not being making any other purchase.

Sounds easy, yeah? Except for one thing … I honestly can’t remember the last time that has happened.

Sigh…

Can you do it? I challenge you!

PS: I’ll post my results by next week.

Hey Marti,

I find it easy to not buy “stuff” on the regular.

I don’t think the ease of online shopping helps us in that regard.

I already have enough, and seriously need to pare it down.

I haven’t been to the grocery store in a week, trying to eat my way through what is in the freezer, and I make my own bread.

I hope your own challenge was a success.

Regards,

Vince
