LOLOL! Okay Chi, but so long as you acknowledge that you don't WANT to, not that you CAN'T.
I consider no-spend months to be about eliminating unnecessary discretionary spending. So no personal care products unless I'm talking feminine hygiene, no manis/pedis, no restaurants or fast food, etc. Stuff that I want, would like to have, am running low on but will survive, will have to wait. That's what I consider a no-spend month.
Henry Ford once said "whether you think you can or can't you're right"
If a "No Spend Month" is out of the question you may consider Michelle Singletary's 21-Day Financial Fast (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/12/31/AR2009123103495.html). I am sure you can get her book from library.
