My next 30 day challenge is going to be reducing spending habits especially on incidentals like a packet of crisps at the supermarket because I haven't planned eating before hand.
So to do this I need to be even more focused on my eating and planning of it.
Other areas I can cut down on is driving the car (Cost of petrol is astronomical $2.20 a litre), meaning I will have to bike more to work and other places (this is extra fitness :)
I will also cut down time spent in shower, (normally use the shower to relax and have think time, but now that will have to be somewhere else!)
Buying smart (i.e getting vegetable on special at the markets vs supermarket buying)
Keeping a transparent Eftpos transaction and cash transaction so that Sally can keep good records on our current spending excel sheet.
Eating more things like carrot sticks rather than hoeing into the cheese all the time because of hunger!
That's is for now but it will sure be an interesting challenge that will affect my health and well being on many fronts.
Go make your 30 day challenge what ever that may be!
Good idea, Grant. I'm reading "Total Money Makeover" by Dave Ramsey which is showing people the steps required to become debt free. It's in the library and you may benefit from reading it. :)
