You're listening to episode 49 of the Sustainable Minimalist podcast.

You are listening to the Sustainable Minimalist Podcast, a show about living simply and sustainably

with your family.

Here's your host, Stephanie Safarian.

Hello there and welcome back. On today's episode we are outlining all the details of our upcoming challenge group, no spend January.

You guessed it.

We are spending zero dollars on wants and we're only spending money on needs like rent mortgage electricity etc for the entire first month of 2019.

Today we are discussing why exactly January is the perfect time to hibernate within our homes, so to speak, and recharge after the excessive holiday season. and we're outlining exactly how to do it too.

My hope is that you'll sign up for the challenge group and join us this month so we can all

commiserate together but if you'd like to do this us this

episode this month,

on your non-consumer journey.

Now, if you have zero interest in joining ours or any no spend challenge in the future,

don't fret. This episode has loads of insight into how to incrementally scale back on spending, which I'm pretty certain everyone can benefit from, right?

I've never heard anybody in my entire life say they have too much money and they

want to buy more stuff. So today I am chatting with my pal Julie Wynne Pizzinger and if you've

been listening to this podcast for a while your ears may perk up at that name.

That's because Julie is a previous podcast guest. She was on

episode 29 to be exact and she's also one of the amazing moderators and our closed

Facebook group. Now side note if you're interested in joining our

closed Facebook group, just search Facebook for Sustainable Minimalists and it will

take you right there. Anyway, the idea of starting a no-spend challenge group this January is a great idea, right?
