Social spending

Every time you leave the house it costs forty

Cutting that means cutting the part of the week you look forward to, which is why the strict version never lasts more than a fortnight. The decision has to be made earlier and smaller.

why social cuts fail

The saving competes with your friendships

  1. 01

    Declining repeatedly has a cost too

    Three months of no changes how often you get asked, and most people will not pay that price for long.

  2. 02

    The decision happens in company

    Another round, a taxi, a split bill: each is decided in a moment where saying no is socially expensive.

  3. 03

    Guilt runs in both directions

    Spend and it breaks the plan, decline and it breaks the evening. Neither outcome makes tomorrow easier.

how it runs

Three tasks in the morning, one report at night

01

Decide before you are at the table

The morning task names the evening, so the choice is already made when the round is being ordered.

02

Two lines when you get home

What happened, what it cost. Written without a verdict attached.

03

People with the same problem

The group is full of people who like their friends and also want the month to add up.

Reasonable questions

Do I have to stop going out?

No. Nobody here sets rules for your money. You write the decision yourself, in the morning.

What if the evening goes over?

You write it down. Days are counted, not scored.

Is there a budget template?

No. Bring your own tools. The daily structure is what this provides.

Is this financial advice?

No, and it is not a substitute for it.

What does it cost?

Pricing is set when the next group opens. Nothing is charged here.

The next hundred days start soon

Leave an email and we will write when the group opens. Nothing is charged on this page.

We write once, when the next hundred days start.
