no-buy is an exclamation of me not trying to buy things that aren't essentials (I'm not native english btw if some wording is off). I will need to buy food, I'll have to pay for rent, food, hygiene and transportation i.e., but I won't buy new cleaning/writing/gaming/whatever things if the old ones still work, won't pay for streaming and music (just rediscovered my old mp3 collection) and I won't spent on clothes (except for an outfit for work interviews maybe). So it's more a mindset and not an actual no-buy-story I'm trying to tell - we're still living in capitalism 😑

my city is walkable, actually I bought the car just two years ago (after having none for five years) but couldn't foresee my health issues incoming. we got "good" public transport as well.

snack expensive - we mostly buy brand snacks. with regular food I stopped buying brands and got discounterfood. but we still buy the brand snacks (that's been a realisation while writing my post). trying to replicate things at home is a good idea, I'm gonna try that!

the pet thing breaks my heart in advance. the cat is one thing, but taking my kid's dog away after them sticking together since 7 years seems impossible. gotta think about that.

thanks for your thoughts. glad to find accountability buddies!

Same. I can't get over that fact at all
