FAQs
Q1. What if there’s a birthday or event?
Plan early. Handmade gifts, potlucks, or no-gift policies work well.
Q2. Can I buy during a sale?
Nope. That’s the detox test. Note what you want—revisit post-detox.
Q3. Can this become a long-term habit?
Yes. Many do 1-2 no-spend days every week even after this.
