Ah. An honest-to-goodness no-spend day. In other words, this wasn’t a delayed-spending no-spend day. I had no pressing errands and no impending expenses that were simply put off for another day.

But is it really possible to have a no-spend day? A day on which you don’t spend a single penny? I would say no; it’s impossible for me to have a day completely free of any type of expense. Why? Because I have monthly bills. Like a mortgage which represents 29, 30, or 31 days of use each month. I lived in my house today. And I used my furnace today to heat that house. And I used electricity to wash and dry clothes, to light my house after dark, to run my computers and my dishwasher and even the TV. And I drove both of our cars today — using gas, being insured, incurring wear-and-tear. So, yes, it’s true that I did not make any direct purchases today. But I did, in a way, spend money.
What do you think?

My exact sentiments! I think the no-spend day only meant no direct purchases. Getting stuck in a deserted island without any rescue in sight is probably the no-spend situation one could be in.
