I am super excited! Friday January 6, 2012 is the start of our 23 Day Frugal Living Challenge — it’s free, and it’ll help you kick start a frugal 2012.
This is a great way to start the New Year! I declare 2012 the year of frugal living and fiscal responsibility. Determining to live frugally is better than making a resolution, because if you are focused and determined these changes will stick with you much longer than any resolution.
How This Is Going To Work
Here’s how The 23 Day Frugal Living Challenge works:
- SIGN UP. Join the Challenge, with 1,000+ others, by signing the pledge. Then head over to The 23 Day Frugal Living Challenge forum and sign up…it’s a free forum and very user-friendly. Read the “PLEASE READ THIS FIRST” post under “The 23 Day Frugal Living Challenge” category of the forum when you sign up for more info on how to use it.
- PUBLICLY COMMIT. Once you’ve joined the forum, go to the section that asks you to “Introduce Yourself Here!” Start a new topic, introduce yourself and tell everyone what your goals are for the next 23 days. This is a public commitment that will hold you accountable and motivate you.
- REPORT your progress each day under the “Frugal Living Daily Goals” category of the forum. Each day of the Challenge we will be asked to set an attainable goal based on the topic. Reporting your goal is simple and takes just a couple of minutes: log in to the forum, go to the daily progress thread (there’s a new one each day) and give us an update.
That’s it.
Just three simple steps: sign up, publicly commit, and take a couple minutes each day to report your progress. The hope is…in 23 days, you’ll have a kick start (and tons of encouragement) for living frugally in 2012!

Can someone walk me through grabbing the button and putting it on my site? I’m not dumb, just uneducated on this point. I’ve tried but can’t make it work. HELP. Thanks.
I’ve got at least two blogger friends joining me, and I have been blogging excitedly about it over the past few days. Thanks for hosting, Andrea! It’s an excellent idea whose time has come.
Is it too late to start my 23 day challenge? We retire from military service in a yr in half so that is why I am trying to coupon and learn everything I can.
