Shopping ban

Another millenial decided to ax her spending habits. Single and about 27, she realized that her ~US$20k debt had not accomplished anything but was just frittered away.

When she faced the problem, she came up with her own solution (and, of course, blogs about it): a shopping ban. She used up her accumulated consumer stuff, she donated other stuff to charity, and she sold the rest. And - the big one - she stopped shopping.

The shopping-ban-year just ended. She says that it worked so well, and she so likes the results, that she's going for another year of it.

Wondering "How to Successfully Complete a Year-Long Shopping Ban?" She wrote out eleven one-paragraph steps with pictures here.

Oh, and that blog - she has "30,000 readers per month." She just quit her job and went free-lance.
