We only have one week left of no-spend month, where we vowed to only spend $400 for all of November on everything we need, including groceries, entertainment, and gas.

We have only $400 to pay for gas, groceries, entertainment, etc. &#8212; everything that isn&#8217;t a monthly recurring bill &#8212; for the entire month.
