Thank you for your interest in the January Money Diet<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I enjoyed hosting this event for 12 years, and connecting with so many of you. Together, we took a voluntary 30-day break from spending every January to start the new year financially strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then, the pandemic arrived and changed everything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After witnessing so many small businesses and local restaurants struggle or close, I no longer felt quite right about advocating a no-spend month. So I decided to switch gears and end this annual challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps you’d still like to go on a financial fast during the month of January. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good news is, Liz over at Frugalwoods<\/a> hosts the Uber Frugal Month (try to say that three times fast) every January. This free 31-day challenge is a wonderful event, with a highly engaged community of like-minded savers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
