January 2025: The No-Spend Challege Guide

 Title: The No Spend Challenge Guide

Author: Jen Smith

Publisher: Amazon

Genre: Self Help

Pages: 107

Rating: 3/5 Stars

Summary: This short self-help book is written to encourage people as they embark on a No-Spend Challenge. This book isn't particularly well-written. There are even some grammar and print errors along the way. Much of the information is obvious, but it does do a good job empowering readers. Smith offers a few helpful tips, yet the most powerful is that the reader is not in this alone. This was a helpful read as I begin my month of no-nonessential spending. 

Memorable Quotes/Morals/Moments:  The simple fact that Smith and her husband paid off 78,000 dollars in debt in two years is a source of encouragement.
