28 days ago I began a frugal challenge to spend less than $1000 for the
month of February. The hope was that this challenge would give me a
better sense of the value of a dollar and empathy for those who are less
fortunate. Selfishly, I craved some degree of authority about living a
frugal lifestyle, because while I save a good bit of cash, I also spend
more in a year than the average American makes. In this post I’m going
to reveal how whether or not I succeeded, what my final spending totals
were, and a bit of what I’ve learned from this adventure.
Here's the recap post of the $1,000 challenge.
Would really appreciate it if I could get some Yakezie support sharing/tweeting/linking to the post. At the beginning of the month I committed that I would donate everything left over from my frugal adventure to charity. Turns out I saved $4400. What I'm doing to try to build some buzz is that I'm asking readers to share the post. In exchange I'm donating $100 to their charity of choice until all the money is committed. I'm only up to 10 charities so it would be great if you could share and suggest some of your favorites and pass the post along.
