Journals / First month of moving to FIRE
« on: July 23, 2018, 04:57:32 AM »
Dear GCC community- June was our first month on being better at saving. My fianc?e stopped buying coffee at Starbucks and I made our breakfast, lunches and dinners every day. We didn?t go out to eat even once which is the longest period of time of being dinning our sober. To our disappointment, we still spend a little under $4K 🙈not including our rent that?s $3750 but luckily paid by his company. Some things we could have gone without is my mindfulness workshop and classes that costed $500. Then I paid $122 for taxes on a flight to Dominica Republic for my bachelorette party. Salsa 💃 classes for both of us where $300. We also spent about $160 on a round of drinks for a friend?s birthday and her gift. The rest of the cost was groceries, transportation (public), doctor and small things that add up. We feel a bit discouraged and this month of July we went back to our old routine and ate out all weekend. . After reading one of your articles again, I?m determined to get back on the horse and concvice my fianc?e. He said let?s just find a job we like till retirement so we?re happy. But we have barely tried. I know I can live on less and be happy. Plus I come from less where he?s come from a much more comfortable life style. Send us positive vibes and the strength to be disciplined to save for our financial freedom. 
Have a gorgeous day!!
