Default Re: Living Below My Means Too Much?

$30 a month should be more than enough for one person. You can buy at least 2 new items every month even if you shop at regular stores, not thrift stores or garage sales. If you get your items second hand, you can get like 10 or more items every month. Maybe you just should make a list of clothes that you will need within the next 3 months, and try to fit it in the $30/month budget, and stick only to that list. For example, if you need 1 pair of tennis shoes, some socks, underware. Prioritize, which items you need this month, which can wait another 2 months. Just make a plan and stick to it. You can make it with $30/month.
