When it is time to move into a new apartment, you need to get on a budget and make sure that you never spend more than you can afford during the month. Yes, there will be times when a major emergency will come up and you may overspend, but it can be very frustrating when your overspending happens because you give into some of those impulse buys that you know you need to avoid in the first place.

There are a few different methods that you can use to help handle some of those impulse buys, such as only using cash, sticking to a list, and so much more. But another effective way to reign in your spending, both in your budget and for impulse buying, is to implement a new do not spend challenge.

Desperate times mean that you need to take desperate measures. And a no spend challenge will be the perfect solution to help you get this done. If you haven’t done one of these before and you haven’t heard about it, then it is pretty simple and you will catch onto the idea quickly. You will pick out a time period where you will do the challenge, such as for the weekend, a week, or a month. And then during that time, you will not spend any of your money on any nonessential items along the way.

Of course, during this time you will pay for some of the items that you need to make it through the time period. You can’t skip out on the mortgage or some of your bills just because you are doing this; choosing to ignore those will get you in even more trouble. And you can purchase some of the essential grocery items that you need.

But you will not spend for any of the extras at that time like new accessories for the kitchen, new shoes, going out to eat, or anything like that. Your goal during that time is to not even set foot in a store unless you are going there to purchase some groceries, and then you will only get the groceries that are on your list.
