Washington Post columnist Michelle Singletary proposes
an interesting 3 week experiment.
She says “a 21-day financial fast will improve your money management.”
“I’m inviting you to take a 21-day financial fast in which you will buy only necessities.”
“This fast is for you if you’re at your financial wit’s end. This fast is for you if the stress of money is causing pain in your relationship with your spouse, friends or family. It’s for you if you’re worried about your retirement portfolio or saving enough to send your children to college. It’s for you if you’re not sure whether you’ll have enough money to carry you through a long, prosperous retirement. If you have more month than money, this fast is designed just for you.”
“Whatever your financial situation, I challenge you to spend the next 21 days fasting. The path to prosperity begins by breaking the yoke to buy and buy and then buy some more.”

This is an interesting proposition. I KNOW people who try it will learn
a lot about themselves even if they don’t make it a whole 21 days.
