super frugal month - how much can I cut back
Super Frugal: my new goal for the month. As I have been sitting here tonight watching the olympics (Michael Phelps is ridiculous) I have been thinking about how nice it has been this month having my house rented out and all the money straight to equity and it made me think: exactly how far can I cut back for the rest of the month? I am the kind of person that likes to spend money in the sense of keeping quality of life. I like to save, but I also, for example like to buy my gatorades for workouts.
Ive been slowly ramping down my spending over the course of the past few months but I thinking I could cut down even more. No more morning energy drink, no more gatorade for workouts (I have always bought a gatorade to drink while I workout since water gives me stomach cramps), bring lunch every day, eat dinner in almost every night, accelerating slower in the Z (heh heh), and last but not least I am going to attempt to bike to work at least once. This last one is tricky because there is literally no where to ride a bike into work and work is a long ways away. Ill report back on that one. Im going to try this and see what I save myself for the rest of the month.
