Remember how I said I've give myself a 400 000 won allowance this month? I confess, I set the bar way too high. I'm the kind of girl that would regularly blow
1 500 000 won a month. Even splitting that in half would be a huge feat for me. I shouldn't tighten the belt too too much. Yet. A karate guy doesn't start out by chopping pieces of wood in half, right?
I should take, as that Ramsey guy recommends, baby steps.
So far, so good.
Here's a chart of my expenses excluding student loans, heating bills, and my child sponsorship from World vision.
I did quite a few things to save those extra couple bucks. For example, up until Friday, I walked everywhere. I had the option of taking the bus, but I'd leave 45 minutes earlier for a very cold stroll. On Thursday, my friend invited me to a French buffet - including all you can eat wine and cheese. Cheese. All you can eat cheese (a rarity in this country. I thought about it for a good four hours before finally saying no.
I gave myself a 100 000 won allowance, but the final total became 65 580 won.
My co-teacher failed to tell me that school would not be serving lunch on one of the days, and since I didn't pack a lunch, I had pizza with my fellow co-teachers.

I failed my No Spend January challenge. But now with the boyfriend gone, and hardly any friends in this country, I can only really inconvenience myself by saving. That means no guilt. Yay! So let's try again, this time using a hybrid of two challenges, Frugal February, and Low Spend February.
Frugal February challenge rules:
I vow, for one month from 4th Feb, to avoid shopping for anything other than essentials.
