I know all about that longerish PA route–it’s the way I always come home from NY on the weekends. It only costs 75c! Total! The turnpike’s at least 20. And, if there’s not much traffic, you can totally ignore the posted 55mph and make it in about the same amount of time.

Saving money can be daunting at first, but it’s also kind of fun if you can make it into a challenge. I’m all over challenges, and think you’re doing great work! : )

No shopping for a whole month makes me want to shop even more.

It’s why I don’t do bans on myself.

I find that if I check my cards, my accounts and my savings accounts, it helps curb any spending because I want to (now) keep that money in there instead of spending it.

I think it would be helpful if you have more specific goals. They seem sort of open to interpretation… “limit drinks out” could mean anything from 1-5 drinks. Try setting SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Timely). Such as: I will only have ONE drink per week. Or, “I will allow myself 100 a month to eat out.” That way you can be more flexible (like if a friend calls and wants to have lunch), but still stay on top of your goals (it’s ok to go as long as you haven’t gone over your budget). Good luck!
