Lets Talk About Daily Spending

[Rawr]

Until OP can formulate what he is REALLY trying to find out (to himself as well), this is pointless.


I remember starting or posting in a good thread about budgeting here. I've never been a budgeter, but usually frugal. When you consider budgeting, it's like swallowing a bitter pill at first, but then you get this ease, everything is already determined, and I can see the benefit. Or so I thought, before I brushed all that aside and blew $2000 in 10 days while on vacation. So I looked at the money coming in this/next month, figured what is my spend after rent and savings, and lowered it by 30% or so. I've come up with 30 euros per day. That was a start - at least now there was an 'anchor' to measure against. So if I blew 100 eur in a night..cough cough..nightclubs in Palma last saturday... then now I need to take it easy and eat at home. But I will still go have a cheescake and a coffee just to break up my day and leave the house, the mental piece of it is important, id go crazy sitting inside and thinking it's good I saved five bucks.


Vigilante posted a very good tip some time back - when you are broke, FIRST THING you must do is put together 1000-2000. Just to have the mental space, to stop freaking out over not having "im broke" as the default thing in your mind. You won't "save" yourself there with $2 coffee. Just hustle and get there with PROFIT, and then you can relax.
