Good habit to write put goals on a list, Sam!

In the last year, since I have a real job, I am trying to live frugally and to spend 20% of my salary – oddly enough, I don’t find it hard at all! OK, it may be an advantage that I live with my folks, but nevertheless, it’s fun to save and grow your wealth.

Learning to save also inspired me to learn how money works and eventually, I appreciate money more than ever before.

Wow you are post number 96 on Jeff’s awesome Yakezie tips post (http://deliverawaydebt.com/yakezie/the-mega-money-tip-list-600-money-saving-tips/)….. Finally got through all of em!

Quite an achievement here…. how is it going now? I would say I almost avoid it most months but I often splash oit on eating at restaurants which is kind of wasted money when I can cook pretty well myself!!! But I love food.

Really good point about the “normalized level of spending.” $23-26K/month wouldn’t be normal at all. However, I’d like to think that if I really was going to spend that money, which I really was, I did save that money in a sense.

Yes, I have a jeweler believe it or not. But so can you if you want. I just developed a relationship with a woman who can procure hard to find items. That’s a valuable relationship to have!

I failed to mention something.... it retails for $43,000. Just Google the watch. Hence, I was so tempted to buy it as a trade. .-= admin´s last blog ..East Coast Living – Is It Really That Bad? =-.

I think you can only add the $23,000 if that is part of your normal spending habits each month {like I spend X amount on groceries, but this month I only spend X, which is less than I usually spend –> then that is savings}. You don’t spend $23,000 each month do you?
You might be able to find solice with Jacob. Even though Extreme Retirement Early, he believes in buying quality items that will last for years and has a great resale value.
You have a “jeweler” really? *envious* or *jealous* Can’t decide. ;)
