Its on ya, I already spent $1.50 on coffee, lol. I decided I'm going to 'pay' myself $8 a day and on days I don't spend the whole thing I'll just save it for a day I may want to spend a bit more. Like I'm pretty sure I'm not spending more than another $1 (dutchie) today.

Also I'm using an app on my andriod called Driod Wallet is cool you can track your expenses and it really shows you where your money is going. I tracked for the 2nd half of sept. and I spent $500 (mainly on bud and food)

I used to mess with Mint but i'm not to comfortable exposing all my info online. Plus using debit/credit cards kills me. Seeing my money physically leave my wallet and handing it to someone else hurts alot more then a mindless swipe

this. Mint is my go too budgeting app simply because I use cards for 95% of my purchases. I haven't spent a dollar today but I'm going on vacation on Wednesday and I have a date next week so who knows. She's gonna get a bad first impression of me that's for sure lol

Speaking on going out though, if anyone of you guys is in NYC and like cigars there are two nice spots I know of one on 71st and 1st called cigar inn and the other is on 2nd and 54th. When ever I go to either I never spend over $20 and I'm usually there for like 2-3 hrs especially if I'm with someone. Cost friendly suggestions :smokin
 
i think i got a bonafide headstart cuz i got groceries in my fridge for a solid week before the competition started.

$245 left...

:pimp: :pimp:
