Why A “Not Buying Anything” Challenge May Not Work?

There’s a reason why people have been doing “not buying anything” challenges for years. It’s hard! And it takes a lot of willpower.

To be honest, we think that if you are going to try this challenge, you should be prepared for some major consequences. What if the people around you decide that you need to buy something? What if your friends start asking why you’re not buying anything? And what if they start making fun of how much money you could save by not buying things?

That said, I understand that sometimes life is just too difficult and there’s no way around it. But maybe it's better to consider other ways of dealing with stress during these times?

For example, maybe trying out meditation or yoga can help ease your mind and make it easier for you to focus on other things when buying nothing feels impossible right now?
