While this may not be possible for most people, I thought I would share it and inspire someone. At the beginning of the month, I remembered that in farming, you only plant half your seed so as to have some to replace the planting should something happen, like a late snow. I began to apply similar logic to my spending and am attempting to only use half of my weeks wages. This means watching what I buy, only buying what I really need, and buy local as it can often be more cost productive. I went in 3 weeks from having a thousand and not being able to get any more to having ~2000 + more hidden in cash. I've also noticed, I don't stop by the store as often and make a shopping list. I'm curious as to how long I can do this.
