Don't just MAKE MONEY - SAVE IT!

Here's a little experiment I'd like to try. Right now, I've got $200. Let's see how long I can go before I spend it all. And there WILL be expenses. I mean, I've got a GF. I'm a human being with wants and needs. I love to eat out.

This is also a training thing for me. It's not just making money that's important. You've got to know how to hold on to it, too. Hopefully, I'll get some self-discipline and budgeting skills from all of this. Looking back, I've been a pretty wasteful guy. I never indulged in the big things, but I kept spending on the small stuff. This time, only the bottom line counts.

My early, optimistic prediction is that I'll last 3 months. This $200 is after all, only for my "wants". Needs such as food and shelter and bills, those come out of my regular paycheck.

Wish me luck!
