March 2009 Days Without Spending Money

This experiment probably would have been better served over time to see the reduction in money spent on my part, but at the very least it gives an outlay of what type of things I spend money on outside of my usual bills (which may be a separate post). Each month I want to see how many $0 days I can get. All costs are rounded.
