Live Simple

Simple living is having less without being deprived. Why would you want to keep up with the Joneses? They are carrying tons of debt and fight about money all the time. Better to have less and actually own it.

End of Week 6


After a week of spending cash only this is what our jars look like:

Transportation: $77.08
Food: $0.43
Entertainment: $10.27
Clothes/Gifts: $42.38
Everything else: $18.00

It has been so revealing to see how we really spend our money.  Before we lived on cash we spent so much more but even though we are spending so much less we aren’t deprived of anything.  There is always food in the fridge, we have money to eat out whenever we want and we have more than enough for transportation.  Little by little we are saving up some gift money so that when we have a baby or wedding gift to buy we’ll already have the money set aside.
