You might not know, but tomorrow is Buy Nothing Day. What's that? Well, surprisingly, a day when people are meant to buy nothing.
Could you go without spending any money for a day? You couldn't go to the cinema, or even make a phone call - they cost money!
Could you cope without sweets or fast food?
Would you just stock up the day before? Or do you think it's a good idea to try to do without for
 In a day I buy: lunch , drink + crisps, and I send A LOT of txt messages. So I probably couldn't go a whole day without money!

I go lots of days without spending.I save my monay and spend it every two weeks.It ain't that hard.

I'm okay at saving money but I still have to get my school lunch and that, so U can't manage a day without spending money.
Hollie, 13, Aberdeen
I think I could!
I would just play out all day and go for long walks with my mates, but the temptation of spending money on sack fulls of rock and ice cream on the promanade might be too great!

Easily! We're at school on weekdays, there is nothing to buy except junk food! Mates are way more important than money, I couldn't live without them!
Rebecca, 13, Birmingham
NO WAY!!!!!! I would have to buy something if I had money in my purse. My eyes are bigger than my purse I think
Laura, 11, Bolton
I could manage easily, I hardly ever spend anything really as I dont have a phone, and I dont buy loads sweets or anything.
Rach, 13, Birmingham
It would be absolutely impossible! I couldn't do it! I have to buy xmas pressies, and clothes!
Ceri, 14, Monmouth
NEVER! I need money to shop for clothes, Harry Potter stuff, nick knacks, and other things, like candy too! Whenever I get money, I HAVE to spend it that day! I just bouught this really cool sweater with the money I got babysitting yesterday! I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT SPENDING MONEY!

No way - I couldn't manage without spending money. I love my mobile phone too much.I'm always texting my best friends and I NEED a daily intake of sweets (I'm such a pie.)
Sally, 16, Wales
No way! I always have b'day/xmas prezzies to buy! And on weekdays I have to walk two miles home, so I need a drink, packet of crisps and possibly another drink!
Laura, 13, Southampton
I think I could manage a day without money, but then again does that include text messages!?
Lydia, 12, Northants
I could certainly manage to live without spending money for a day, especially on a saturday, i have to pay to get the bus on weekdays.
Kate, 13, Colchester
I couldn't go without spending any money for a day cos I need my daily intake of sweets and junk food - how else would I ever survive!
Kirsty, 13, Manchester
No I could not live with out spending money. I would just have to hit the shops and spend, spend, spend!
Karen, 16, Wokingham
I could go without spending money! i do love to shop but i know how 2 spend my money wisely now as i am older and more mature!
Lyndsay, 14, Glasgow
I could definitely manage - I live in the middle of nowhere, and there's nothing to spend money on anyway!
