I know this is a board for people who already live a more frugal lifestyle, but how bout a challenge for the newbies?
1) do your finances for January as something to compare to this month. You don’t have to share if you feel uncomfortable, it’s just a reference for you. How much you spend on groceries, gas, rent, frivolous things etc.
2) catch something that you didn’t know was a big deal, cut it out, or bring it down.
3) put an acceptable amount of money into your savings (that can depend on what kind of money you make).
4) look for ideas and tips in the board, to see how you can be more frugal, and maybe make these things a habit.
5) check in with difficulties weekly, or successes.
6) everyone is a winner, you’re saving!
