I want to truly challenge myself. Maybe because desperate times call for desperate measures.
I started by cutting out my morning “drink” stop, at one point that was 2 Red Bulls at the price of $6.00 every morning and then it became my morning Starbucks run that cost me close on average $7.00-$8.00 a day. That over 20 work days in a month is around $150.00, just more or less pissing away. So I have started as of last Thursday taking $7.00 a day and transferring it to my savings account, 5 days and $35.00 richer on the savings track. This money will be used monthly to pay the ridiculous balance I have congered up on my credit cards.
But I need another challenge, what else can I go without each month? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I can’t get rid of my car, sorry about that one, even a couple months without a car would give me plenty of money to pay the credit cards off, but no such luck when I work 50 miles from home.
Do you bring your lunch to work every day? I do, it saves tons of money, plus I love what I make. A group breakfast with friends is fun, and like going out, only much less expensive. Filtered water, not bottled. I'll think of more
Bring my lunch to work is great when I have time in the evenings to prepare things, but sometimes I grab a can of soup and that is so unappealing come the lunch time hour I go to the cafe and spend from 4- 12 bucks…
