The Buck Stopper: Day One

3/28/2012

Comments

Monday marked day one of my experiment to spend seven days living an entertaining and active lifestyle while maintaining a budget of sixty American Dollars. If I am to succeed, I will need to spend less than an average of $8.57 per day.

I went to the ATM and withdrew 3 Andrew Jackson's, marking the start to my quest.  I must disclose that I will have some level of reliance on existing resources.  For instance, I am starting with a little more than a quarter tank of gas.  I also have a few (very few) rations in my cupboard. (Basically: Bread, Peanut Butter, Chicken, a few frozen pizzas, and noodles). Any expenses beyond that will come directly out of my thin stack of twenties.

Let's Review  the Dollar by Dollar Breakdown for day #1:

Monday's Starting Funds:

9:00 AM:  Enjoyed a delicious iced coffee at my favorite local cafe: Seven Stars Bakery.  This place has great coffee, delicious pastries, and ambiance.  I would normally opt for their famous chocolate croissant or even cream cheese danish, but withstood the temptation today. 

Medium Iced Coffee: $2.57

8:00 PM: [Pandering Alert] The best bang for your buck in Monday Night entertainment... Mondays On Blast at the Apartment. No Cover.  This week I was treated to an awesome show.  I will admit, I had heard nothing about Valencourt and Northeast Traffic prior to last night, but they both crushed their sets. Dan Martin's Comedy Friends, Narragansett Lagers and the always marvelous Kris Hansen  put the cherry on a great night. 

2 Narragansett Lagers + Tip: $8.00

Monday Total Expenses:
$ 10.57
Remaining Funds:
$ 49.43

So, I was a little over budget today, but it was a great start to the week.  I look forward to finding more fun things to do on this limited budget.  Check in to see how I am doing tomorrow.
