Well, I was rather forced into this goal, being that I have been out of a job since the fall, and refused to take money out of the bank. Thus, my lunch money is my only income and learning how to use that efficiently cuts out any superfluous spending. It is incredibly rewarding though to not be, as Kerouac said, “working for the sake of consuming things we dont really want anyway”. I dont need stuff. If I want a book, Ill go to the library. If I want clothes, Ill go to Salvation Army. Food and entertainment takes up most of my expenses but I have learned to cut back on that. In the end, though, spending money on a concert or bowling or booze is far better spent than money on useless shit.
