I have some “Cash-Only Experiment” news to report. I am down to 160 dollars, after starting with 260 dollars 4 days ago. I am averaging 25.00 dollars a day in expenses. This money goes towards gas, groceries, and incidentals. I am somewhat stunned by the amount of money going out, but I know that I have not purchased anything extravagant or crazy. It just takes a certain amount of money to live. After I finish this experiment, I will have a better grasp of just where all of my money goes, and I can hopefully adjust my spending habits so that I can save some money.
I bought 12 dollars worth of gas, and my wife took the other 20 for lunch and supper for the kids today.
At this rate, I will be out of cash by the 14th of March. Wow…
