Going on a cash diet in 2023 isn’t what I’d call fun, but the circumstances and thoughts that run through your head are often funny – in retrospect.
A few weeks ago, my family agreed to go (OK, a little strong) went on a cash diet and essentially put away all our credit cards, online transfers or anything other than cash.
We weren’t putting a lot of thought into the money we spent online, in stores or restaurants. Those 28 days on the cash diet – what some call “cash stuffing” – offered a kind of reset that I’d suggest that anyone consider if, like me, you come to the end of a billing cycle and wonder where your paycheck went.
