Big City...Beer Budget

"Being debt free is better than spending feels." This blog will follow the ups and downs of living on a beer budget ($40,000/year) in Ottawa. I am a 20-something girl who came out of 2 degrees with $33,000 in student loans. Through dedication and hard work that was paid off in less than a year and I now own a home. I am not a financial planner or expert, but have developed an interest in my finances and how to make the most of my income. Questions? Email me at bigcitybeerbudget@gmail.com

February Challenge

On the heels of my 95% sucessful No Spend Week challenge that wrapped up on Saturday, I decided that I'd throw a new challenge into the mix for the month of February.

Beginning tomorrow I will pledge not to spend any money during the week. Weekends I will do my grocery shopping and meal preparation/planning for the week, I'll fill up on gas, and I'll make plans with friends that involve spending money.

I still have enough Scene points for 2 free movies, and can always ask a friend over for dinner if something comes up during the week. I'm also coupling no spending during the week with occupying my evenings at the gym, so that will help with the boredom shopping!

What goals have you set for the month of February?

Sounds like fun! I know I can't do this since I try to squeeze in errands like grocery shopping during the week. But going to the gym during lunch is helping me save money too!
