b'You\\u2019re not going to believe what my guest today is doing, she is actually on a spending freeze, yep a spending cleanse. I\\u2019ve gone on a juice cleanse, unsuccessfully. The idea of actually not spending any money on once and things that I happen to desire throughout the day whether it\\u2019s a coffee or a cab ride. Well it would be very difficult for me as I think it would be for a lot of people and Cait is a living, breathing experiment of this and she has been making headlines. I\\u2019ve known Cait for some time, she\\u2019s an avid blogger and very active in the personal finance community, she runs the blog Blonde on a Budget. She recently made new headlines with this spending freeze that she was embarking on, which she actually started last year. And so I thought, \\u201cYou know what? Let\\u2019s get her on the show,\\u201d because I want to know how this cleanse is going, does it work, can it work, how can we all learn from this and maybe take some of the lessons into our own lives. A little bit more about Cait, she\\u2019s the creator of the blog Blonde on a Budget which she started in 2010 as a way to document her own journey to get out of debt. After paying off about $30,000 of debt, she decided to adopt a very minimalist lifestyle, she got rid of 75% of her belongings and she is, as I said, currently undergoing a two year shopping ban. She\\u2019s become very passionate about helping others create budgets that align with their goals and values while also teaching others to overcome consumerism tendencies. Her story has been featured in Forbes, Huffington Post, Yahoo! Finance, among many others. For more information visit www.somoneypodcast.com.
