$1300 Extra In A Year!

One of the first areas I would suggest in your new journey, is simply finding areas you can "cut back".   For instance, if you eat fast food for lunch, try the $1 menu.  Surprisingly, there is some good tasting choices for that price.  Better still bring a sandwich or left overs from home.  This is not an easy transition. I call it reprogramming your mind.  However, if you will work on this area for about 2 weeks, it will be a breeze.  Maybe you will need to reward yourself one day a week and eat out.  Or at least try every other day.  The extra effort will pay off.  If you save $5 a day for 5 days, you will have saved a whopping $25.  In a year that would amount to $1300!   Am I doing the math correctly?  Isn't it amazing?
