Letโ€™s be realโ€”most budgets donโ€™t blow up because of rent or car payments.

They fall apart because of tiny, invisible swipes: coffee here, delivery there, one โ€œAdd to Cartโ€ too many.

So this week, weโ€™re hitting pause.

Itโ€™s time for a quick reset that puts you back in charge of your money.

๐Ÿงพ The Challenge

For the next 48 hours, youโ€™ll live cash-onlyโ€”no cards, no Apple Pay, no tap-to-buy.

Hereโ€™s how it works:

  1. Pick an amount you normally spend in two days (try $40-$60).

  2. Withdraw that in cash and keep it in an envelope labeled โ€œPiggy Reset.โ€

  3. Spend only on essentials: gas, groceries, meds.

  4. Skip the extras: take-out, snacks, impulse Amazon buys.

  5. When timeโ€™s up, count whatโ€™s left.

  6. Move that leftover money to your smallest debt or your emergency fund.

Thatโ€™s your win โ€” proof that awareness creates savings.

๐Ÿ Example

You normally spend โ‰ˆ $50/day.

You withdraw $60 for two days.

You buy groceries ($30) + gas ($10).

Youโ€™ve got $20 left.

๐ŸŽฏ That $20 โ†’ goes straight to your emergency fund or smallest debt.
A small, visible win that actually sticks.

๐Ÿง  Why It Works

Paying with cash makes you feel each purchase.

You think twice before you spend once.

And two days is short enough to finish โ€” but long enough to notice the difference.

Cash feels heavier than plastic. When you touch your money, you control it instead of letting it control you.

๐Ÿฝ Piggy Pep Talk

You donโ€™t need a fancy app or a 6-month plan to make progress.

You just need two days of awareness.

Because once you prove to yourself you can pause the swipes โ€”
saving stops feeling hard.

Spoiler: next paycheck never saves itself. ๐Ÿฝโฐ
