#157 The no-spend Lockdown challenge

With the UK back under a strict lockdown there are once again a number of ways we can't spend our cash. It's frustrating, but it also makes it the perfect time to give a no-spend challenge a go. Though you still need to cover essentials like bills, debts and food, the idea is to cut back on everything else. In return you'll not only see a healthier bank balance, but hopefully a greater understanding of where your money goes each month. I'm joined by Claire Roach from Money Saving Central to talk more about how to keep motivated, tricks to keep track and more. * Please do leave a review and rating if this saves you money. * Claire's guide to No Spend Challenges on Money Saving Central https://moneysavingcentral.co.uk/no-spend-challenge ABOUT CASH CHATS Cash Chats is presented by money blogger and broadcaster Andy Webb.
