It’s OVER

WOW No Money November draws to a close.

Did it work? Of course it didn’t. It was a total nightmare. This is mostly due to London’s transport network being such a massive rip off . Of course, had I been able to blag some free lights for my bike (the one I’ve had since I was 12 years old) I may have been able to get around a bit easier – and cheaper. But I failed on that count, too.

Despite this ‘experiment’ being a huge failure, I think this month has taught me the value of money and most importantly that I don’t need what I want, or what I think I need. From now on I am going to be a more thoughtful consumer! Or at least a cheaper person, and I vow to never again start a sentence with ‘I want’.

There are so many people out there for whom EVERY month is a No Money November. Without meaning to get preachy, I am going to keep these people in mind the next time I am moaning about not being able to buy something – in the grand scheme of things I’m really fortunate.

I wish to thank everyone who helped me, I really appreciate all of your donations and encouragement. Thanks also to the companies that promised to send me things to review and use but didn’t. Anticipation and disappointment are two free things I never really knew how to embrace and enjoy until just recently.

Thanks again, for helping, and reading!
