I am going to loosely try a no spend year. I'm not going to spend any money except for things I need, and not the things I want. I'll still do Christmas and birthdays for my family and things like that. I don't need any clothes, so I won't buy any. Clothes will only become a need if I lose weight. Shoes will become a need if mine wear out, but until then, they would only be a want. Eating is a need, whereas dining out would be a want. Packing my own coffee is a need, whereas Starbucks is a want. You get the picture.

I don't think it's taking frugalty too far because I basically have all I need and then some. My life is too cluttered for any more wants.
