BloominNo-spend challenge tracker
A no-spend challenge is a set stretch of time, often a week or a month, where you buy only essentials. Rent, bills, groceries and getting to work still happen. Everything else waits until it's over.
Pick a length and start date to get a calendar you can tick off each day and print.
An example amount. Change it to what a normal day of non-essential spending costs you.

How to use the tracker
Tick each day you buy nothing outside your essentials. If you add what a normal day of non-essential spending costs you, the tracker shows what the ticked days come to. That's money you didn't spend, not money saved: it only becomes savings if you move it somewhere.
Write your rules down first
Decide what counts as essential before day one, and print the calendar so the rules and the days sit together. A missed day doesn't end the challenge. Leave it unticked and carry on.

Questions
What counts as spending in a no-spend challenge?
You decide before you start. Most people allow essentials like rent, bills, groceries, medicine and getting to work, and pause everything else: eating out, takeaway coffee, shopping and subscriptions you can pause.
How long should a no-spend challenge be?
A weekend or a week is a common first try. A month is the most popular length. The calendar here runs for 7, 14, 30, 90 or 365 days.
What happens to the money I don't spend?
It only counts as saved if you move it. Moving the day's usual spend to savings each evening is one way to make the challenge add up to something.
Where is my calendar saved?
In this browser only, and clearing your browser data removes it. Your ticks are never sent anywhere. To improve the tool, we keep a rounded copy of the length and daily spend you set.
