I'm just trying to understand this term
Do you also forgo any revenues? Or just expenses?
How is it different from saving?
Just expenses. It's basically just a tool to reevaluate your spending habits. It's more analogous to an elimination diet, I suppose.
It's different from savings, because you could increase your savings by earning more, while keeping spending constant. So, technically, it's the same thing as cost minimizing.

Makes sense now. I call them "buy nothing days"
You'd be crazy to refuse a zap or burn sats. But I heard a story of one who did a hardcore "money fast" and burned a month's worth of expenses about $5k at the time after spending nothing the whole month. He probably made way more than that in the month passively with his businesses so it wasn't that hardcore lol.

That seems nuts, but I could imagine someone just abstaining from spending and earning for a month, as a true fiscal fast.
I don't personally see the point of abstaining from earning.
