Finance Round 2 [Freewriting & Rant]

The most profound experience so far has been reducing my food budget. I was spending well over $600 on meals each month. Then, I moved to a home with a nice kitchen. Prepping meals consisting of roast potatoes, asparagus, bell peppers, and meats, I’ve cut that down to $200 per month. Add in eating out and I’m at about $300. [Rant included].

My Journey to Financial Independence

“It’s been just under a month since I moved into a new home and pieced together my budget. I’ve kicked thrifty mode into high gear. Since moving into the new home with roommates, I’ve been able to save $140 per month on utilities and Internet, $300 per month on food, and $20 per month on laundry. This house has everything included and I’m excited to find thrifty ways to save money.”
