Youd think that would make her a whizz with her own cash  right? Wrong!  Spending with abandon and ignoring bank statements were her modus operandi. Just because she wasnt in serious debt  apart from her massive London mortgage  she thought she was in control. She wasnt.  Something needed to be done but rather than cut back here and there  Michelles approach was more radical. She set herself a challenge to not spend anything for an entire year. She pays her bills and she has a minimal budget for her weekly groceries and household essentials but otherwise Michelle doesnt spend any money at all. She is finding creative ways to get the things she needs  to travel and to still be able to enjoy her time. Not only has she saved money but she is happier: no longer feeling the desire to buy things all the time or feeling the pressure of being sold to. Her relationship with money  with things  with time  with others has changed for the better.  The No Spend Year is Michelles honestly written and personal account of her challenge. But it is more than that  it is also a tool for life that will help you get to grips with your own financial situation. She talks about money in an accessible  unintimidating and often entertaining way and interspersed throughout are really brilliant personal finance tips and life hacks about interest  mortgages  savings   pensions and spending less to help you live a more financially secure life too.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44965378195509,"sku":"ByrdShop_1473652146","price":32.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781473652149.jpg?v=1770494730","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-no-spend-year-how-you-can-spend-less-and-live-more","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
