Dr.Rum Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I'm embarrassed to say that, but here goes. For the past 10 years i've been on my own no help at all, I made roughly $65k a year for all of those ten years. Living in NY/Long Island is quite pricey. Time to cut corners, oh did I mention my job cut commission basically IN HALF? Ok here goes. Food....... Yes! It's that simple, food! Food you ask? For the past two months i've cut out all unnecessary expenses that can hurt me. So basically it's only Rent, Car Note, Car Insurance, Gas, Cell Phone, and Food. Food is what I had to cut out, that was it! The biggest and I mean THE BIGGEST $AVING has been with Food! Nothing else lol. I'm done with eating out all the time, breakfast, lunch, dinner etc. I used to spend on average $26 per day on food. Now I spend $40 per week on food by shopping etc and not taking the easy way out which is fast food and other crap. Before this discovery.... Food cost $780 per month!!!! Now i'm down to $160 to $180 per month for Food! It's really crazy when you actually sit down and look at your past 2 to 3 months in terms of expenses. You notice just how much you waste $ like it is nothing, and you realize how much you can $ave by making a few changes.

Grand Theft Amanda Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Food cost a fortune when you're a fat ass. I'm glad I only eat once a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flachbau Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Living in NY is basically a mistake in the making. You could have saved so much more if you didn't live here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
