Money is a key survival prep. Encouragement to save money!
Today I saw a meme that succinctly explained the importance of saving even a little bit of money.
The meme showed that saving $27.40 daily amounts to $10,000 saved in a year. If you can't save that much, saving $2.74 daily amounts to $1,000 in the year (that's a nice mini vacation!).
We often allow our budgets to be bled dry by vampire expenses, pennies here, dollars there... I've audited my budgets in the past and found I was overpaying by $10 or $20 for phone, I cut my cable (~$100/month) 7 years ago, and really scrutinized my budget in other ways to save a little here and there. And it's worth auditing your expenses from time to time.
Cut the fat from your budgets - the eating out, the nights at the bar, the designer coffees, etc. and you can save a lot of money.
Set a goal to save (or otherwise not waste/spend) $6 daily and see if you can do it. That would be an extra $2000 for the rest of 2020. Or extend it to $10 and try to save $3350 for the rest of the year.
