Day 20

This budget experiment has really changed the way I think about money. All of my spending habits have changed. I am so much more conservative in my spending. Yesterday, I got my tax return and I didn't even want to spend it. Today, I decided I could buy a new shirt or scarf since I've been so dedicated to the experiment. I spent $20 on one shirt and I am sick with the thought that I could eat for 20 days with the money I spent on one shirt. Don't get me wrong, I love the shirt, but it was hard to spend the money even though I have a little. I am honestly guilt-ridden right now, but I've gotten work through it.

Here is what I spent on food today:

oatmeal- $0.07

pb&j- $0.32

eggs- $0.15

ramen-$0.10

broccoli- $0.10

total- $0.74
