Despite my Dad working in the finance industry, I’m not very good (nor do I enjoy!) the act of budgeting. Ugh. I would rather clean up suspicious bloodstains from the trunk of a dusty twenty year-old Volvo by licking it than re-budget. Sadly for me, it’s a reality that I’ve been forced to deal with head-on because my I’ve been bitten by a very ambitious travel bug, so I’m currently in the process of rebudgeting my monthly expenditures with the hopes of saving up for a backpacking trip across Central Asia. I want to hoof through Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, their neighboring countries, and eventually end up in Afghanistan–but I have to re-budget first. I guess this just means that I love traveling more than I hate re-budgeting!
Here are some steps I am thinking about taking to save money: I am going to replace all my meals with coffee. I am going to start showering in the dark. I am going to cancel my cable TV subscription. I am going to stop going to the gym.
Stop going to the gym?
