Do You Want to Live on 10 20 30 40 a Day or More?

NOT $10 EVERYDAY


Living on $10 a Day. Doesn’t mean that you have to do it everyday. You can, and some will. Everybody is different. We are all individuals, and we will all use this in a different way. Some will do it everyday, really getting “Into It,” maybe even trying to get it down to an average of $6 or $7 a day, which can defiantly be done. Some may just want to do the $10 a Day thing just 2 or 3 times a week. That’s cool. That’s 100 to 150 a year, and if you do $10 a day for either 100 or 150 times a year, you will save quite a lot , thousands. Not as much as if you did it 250 or 300 times a year, but still quite a lot. Doing it more than the other guy is not what this is about. What this is all about, is saving money in the way it works for you. Some may read the Blogs and follow a lot of the great info and advice and apply these principles and methods like “Brown Bagging” and Cooking at home.

For some people they may not Brown Bag because they feel self-conscious or embarrassed as it concerns their life and where they work. Remember, everybody is different. What works for one, may not work for another. This particular person may choose not “Brown Bag It.” (and keep in mind, there is nothing wrong with Brown Bagging, it’s Great Actually, just not for everybody) So this person doesn’t Brown Bag It because he chooses not to, but he shops, buys, and saves a lot of Money every week at 99 Cent Stores, he cooks at home a lot, doesn’t go out to eat much except for lunch during the work week, he’s a good shopper and gets the best deals on good clothes, Airline Tickets, and everything else he buys, and buy doing these things, he has saved himself three or four thousand of dollars a year, maybe more. And he could have even saved more if he Brown Bagged It, but he didn’t want to. He save thousands in other ways, and put thousands in his pockets through being smart and saving. “Money Saved is Money Earned.”

This guys saved thousands of dollars in one years time buy being frugal in many ways. He did not throw his Money away. He shopped every week at the 99 Cent Store buying all sorts of food items like Ramen, cheese, Ham, Salami, bread, Glass Cleaner, cookies, pretzels, all sorts of things. He spent $1,700 that year at 99 Cent Stores. If he bought all those items at Supermarkets and other stores instead of the 99 Cent Store, he would have spent about $5,700. He saved $4,000 dollars, What do you think he did. With that $4,000? He took the vacation he had always wanted and dreamed of taking. He went to Italy for two weeks. The money that he saved just by shopping at the 99 Cent Store, paid for his vacation to Italy. It can pay for yours too. And in actuality, the money he save by shopping at the 99 Cent Store was really quite a bit more. He cooked a lot of meals at home, especially breakfast and dinner. Before he used to spend about $15 dollars a week on breakfast or about $750 a year.
He used to spend an average of $125 a week buying take out for dinner and going out to eat. That’s about $6,300 a year on dinner. He still went out to eat once and a while, but a lot less, and he almost completely cut out take-out for dinner. He was spending $7,000 a year on Breakfast and Dinner, not including lunches. He cut this figure down to $3,000, saving another $4,000 and of that you apply $2,000 savings of the money Saved (Earned) by shopping at 99 Cent Stores because he was eating most of his breakfasts and dinners at home instead of out or take-out, so the Money he actually Saved (Earned) by shopping 99 Cent Stores was actually $6,000, so he was able to pay for the entire trip to Italy, even with the crazy price of buying Euros, and he still had a little left over, enough to buy some nice Italian Shirts and shoes. That’s what shopping at 99 Cent Stores and all sorts of smart shopping can do for you. That’s what “Brown Bagging It” and cooking at home can do.
“Do it Yourself and Save. “ Do it and Earn Money, “Money Saved is Money Earned, “ and it will pay for a beautiful Vacation for you to Italy, Paris, Asia, where ever you dream of going to. And on top of that, you will have money to buy nice clothes (discounted of course), and you’ll be able to put thousands of dollars in you Savings Account.
“How’s that? Great right? Good Luck, you can do it too!”
