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 Week 1 Update

One week into my February Challenge, I've accomplished my goal for week 1 perfectly.

Here is my personal spending for the week:

Wednesday, February 1: NO SPEND

Thursday, February 2: NO SPEND

Friday, February 3: NO SPEND

Saturday February 4:
LCBO - $1.80 (I had a $10 gift card to cover the rest)
Walmart - $33.83
Loblaws - $26.89
Food Basics - $9.96
(All three grocery stores are within 2 blocks of each other....while it looks like a lot, I don't have to drive all over the city to hit all three)

Sunday, February 5:
Esso - $40.01

Monday, February 6: NO SPEND

Tuesday, February 7: NO SPEND

If I continue to knock this challenge out of the park, I will have 21 No Spend days in February!
