Saving $1000 in 30 days
I've been following this series of posts, and decided I would post up here about it: Tip #2: Turn your thermostat down 3 degrees | I Will Teach You To Be Rich
The goal is to cut $1000 of expenses out of your life by following the daily, in depth posts on saving in certain fields. Pretty interesting stuff, including #2, which I linked above. I'd have to turn the thermostat down to 63, though! . I'm going to count that one as already done. |

Tip #1: Pack lunches for the rest of the week
-I pack a lunch 4 days a week Tip #2: Turn your thermostat down 3 degrees -utilities are included for me. I would do it if I paid for it. Tip #3: Sell something on eBay today -it has been a while since I did ebay/ craigslist sales. Tip #4: Involve your friends in your savings challenge -my friends know of my cheapness already. Tip #5: Optimize your cellphone bill -Already on a low cost plan. Tip #6: Use gas prices to become your own hedge fund -meh Tip #7: Create a “No Spending” day once a week. -I only spent $0.85 today on vending machine snack. That is almost a no spend day. |

Hmm it's pretty hard to save $1000 in 30 days when your income minus your rent is only $700 a month. I guess I already live cheaply

Well I don't have a income so I can't do that either! :P But I'll go for that "sell something at eBay"...
Should start saving up for an EV! Need either $8200 to buy a Renault Electrique or $15100 to build my own EV. And besides, selling stuff is a way of recycling...
