This is easy for me assuming that no bills fall during that period, and I have sufficient food & fuel to last five days.

I surely spent it faster since the thought goes a little something like, "Hey look at that... I have enough, I can afford $4 on a good iced capuccino." That stuff gets you in trouble. I think the most I'd spend in 5 days could be $15... maybe $10. Not a dime? Not possible unless you're missing some meals.

Good strat, I somewhat follow that policy.
