Ask the Readers: Have You Ever Done a No-Spend Challenge?

During a no-spend challenge, you try not to spend money on anything extra for a certain period of time. You can choose to cut nonessential and nonrecurring expenses altogether, or select a few categories that you want to cut back on — like clothing, coffee, or dining out. Like other money challenges, the no-spend challenge is meant to help you save money and re-evaluate your spending habits.

Have you ever done a no-spend challenge? What parameters did you set for your challenge? How did it go. If you've never done one, what categories would you choose to focus on?
