The challenge is simple you have $250 for the month of Oct. to spend on anything you didn't budget for at the start of the month. Things like clubbing, eating out, misc. purchases. So utility bills, rent, credit card bills isn't included. Also it's up to you if your including lunches in your $250 or if your budgetting that, same goes for gas and public transportation. Ex. I budget for gas and grocery shopping so I don't deduct that from my $250.

The things below are what can be excluded/budgeted for the challenge, but remember the point of this is to spend less money so a $500 weed budget and a $300 liquor budget won't make sense so we will cap things like that to $50

If you have more things you think should be added let me know:
Bills
Gas
Bud :smokin
Liqs


If anyone is interested in joining this challenge sign up now. Registration will end at 9/30/12 at 11:59 PM.

These people have joined so far let me know if I missed you or if you wanna join PM me or post here

if i had a girlfriend i could probably be able to do this. would just cook for her instead of taking her out. but idk, tough to do that in new york.
 
100$(€) for october.. Can't do it.

2013 will be easy because i'll be doing my military service for the whole year. We get paid like 60€ per month.
 
I'm in... will post receipts ...

Might not eem make it though...

So this is strictly food and incidentals? No gas or bills....

I budget $100 a week, so this will get interadasting ...

Voting to raise the limit, deaux ...
 
Not about that college budget life anymore, plus I have a couple trips planned in October plus Halloween...

No thanks, good luck to those that participate.

[Dov Davidoff] It's not really dating. I don't have any money, so we just kind of walk around. She'll always say things like, 'Where are we going?' 'Further.' [/Dov Davidoff]
 
3 mcchickens or mcdoubles a day for a month. No drinking. No girls. Sitting in the corner doing nothing. Only way this will happen.




I'll pass.
 
Only spend $100 a day for a month?

I would be down, but October is my birthday and I'm gonna be legal so I'm probably gonna go over that $100 limit in a night.

I may be ODing, how do you guys feel about $250?

I'll be updating the 1st post tonight with the names of people who are participating
 
Only way I see yall accomplishing this is if you add a bunch of exceptions. None of yall gonna be on that documentary grind with it though.
 
there has to be a list of rules for exceptions like bills. i spend about 20 a week (seriously) for food/transportation (carpool), i eat dinner at home, and i try to make my own lunches on weekends. this won't be bad unless i have to go out with the gf...

I'm gonna update the first post tonight when I'm home from work with the exceptions and everyone can make their own exceptions but if your gonna put exceptions on everything then it defeats the whole purpose lol.. like for example I put a $50 budget my 'meditation medicine'
 
I assume no smokers of any kind are participating? I hardly see anyone budgeting any cigs/herb. I'd try but I know I can't make it. I spend money so carelessly. It's a problem :frown: October is a bad month for me, though. Birthday on the 13th and Halloween will prove costly for me :smh: Good luck guys :lol:
 
This isn't difficult for me since I almost never go out for dinner and maybe go out with friends once every two months. The only thing I would spend money on in October is if I go out for Halloween or some decent movies are released in theaters.
