Consumerism & It's issue... Starting the no-spend challenge!

I will be blunt and upfront about this, but I, alongside many other people, have a consumerism issue.

My room is currently a mess. It is clean, but I just have an overwhelming amount of things that are genuinely pointless and sit around waiting for nothing. I didn't realize how bad of an issue this was until I was at my friend's apartment and noticed how neat and fit everything was. After that, it made me reflect on what I actually have and I realized that I maybe only ever use about 10% of the things that I own...

Currently, I'm tight on money. It's funny in a way because there's that on going joke where college students live off of ramen to survive and right now that's how my world looks. Yet while I'm eating my ramen I look over at trinkets or things I bought for maybe $30 a piece and just cringe at the thought that I have some useless thing on the floor from the money I could have used on making a good meal. 

My spending habits made me dig a hole that I can slowly climb out of if I cut all spending right now. Which leads to the point of this short rant; The "no-spend challenge." 

It's healthy to detox once and a while and right now I genuinely need to do this and maybe writing this all out for the world to see will help motivate me and maybe others who need a reality check like I did.

Of course. a complete $0 budget for a month would be insane since I still have bills, food, and similar utilities that I need to survive. So I will tweak with the challenge by adding my own rules:

1. I will prioritize the bare minimum necessities to live (i.e bills, car payments, food...)

2. Limit of $100 in groceries per/mo. ($50 per 2 weeks)

3. If I am to buy something I must first re sell items that I no longer use and/or want

4. Regardless of purchase (not including rent/gas/similar), I will shop locally-owned and/or re sold online and avoid corporate AT ALL COST.

* May be subjected to change but I will follow these rules as strictly as humanly possible.

I want to be able to do this for one month at least, and if I can do it for two then I will make sure I can get a new piercing or tattoo as a reward to myself!

If anyone else is on this journey I wish you luck! Let me know how it goes for you too if you decide to start or have already started this challenge!

Found this video that perfectly explains how over consumption can become an issue and how to work around it!
