I'm about to limit myself to 100 per 7 days for the next 2 mths.
Do you think you could live on $20 a day for 365 days?

I average around $10 spent on food most days.
Only time I splurge is birthday dinners, etc.

Eggs are an absolute staple if you're eating on a budget.

And yea this would be pretty easy. Now $2-5 would be a little more difficult but still possible

Bro we only talking about eating expenses? No real bills or utilities included?
Put it like this, I usually take out $100 in cash biweekly, put it in my wallet, by time next payday comes, I still have $40 remaining.
Disclaimer, a few small food purchases are put onto my debit card, fast food stores. Probably not even totalling $20 for a 2 week span

That's the thing, you essentially have to kill any fun
People say easily but I don't think they realize the discipline

Doesn't require much discipline at all actually. There are people who can control themselves to the point that they only eat once a week and all other crazy ****, now that requires discipline. Spending a little less paper ain't nothing

If that's the case I could easily do this. All it takes is a little meal planning.

It would be more difficult for a younger person to accomplish, for sure. They lack discipline.
For anyone over 25, it should be an easy to do if you NEEDED to do it.

How is it killing any fun?
Rent/utilities/loan payments-aren't excluded. You basically have abut $600 dollars for personal use.
I spend no more than $200 a month on groceries, $65 on gas, $75 on cable/internet, and $40 on shared cell plan a month.That's $220 left for leisure/luxury a month. Unless you buy a pair a sneakers every weekend or drop $20 a day for some reason, this isn't hard.
