Re: How much money have you saved a month since coming to saving advice?
Being honest and only counting what I've saved since coming here and specifically because of coming here (because I think it is disengenuous to consider all savings as directly attributable to savingadvice) I have saved $2922. My expenses were already low, but I decided to go on the Modified Minimum Wage Challenge.
excerpt from blog
I spent $1592 a month last year. My savings are the difference, $1592-$1026 (see below) = $566 times 8 months = $4,528.
Add to that $190 in “savings” and $14.21 in my emergency fund, I’ve saved $4,732.21. If I take out what I spend in Europe, $1809.64, which is not part of my Challenge, I’ve saved $2,922.57 living on CA Minimum Wage for 8 months.
