This is a fist-pumpingly fine number, one that I'm proud of. My 2019 spending averaged $4221.27 per month. This led me to push for austerity measures last year, measures that worked. From 2016 to 2018, I was spending closer to $6000 per month. After returning from our cross-country adventure, that number spiked. It's a valuable practice.Įarlier this decade - after my divorce but before my RV trip - my monthly spending averaged about $4000. I've been doing this since 1993 (with occasional breaks). My January 2020 SpendingĪs you know, I track every penny I spend. January was - by far - my best month with money in years. There's been an unexpected benefit to my quest to become a better version of me.
I expect this to provide an additional boost to my well-being. Over the next six weeks, I plan to integrate two additional changes into my life: I'm going to begin exercising regularly and I'm going to cut back on videogames. Taken together, these three changes have mitigated my mental health problems and made me more productive. I've had a few drinks in February, and it's been interesting to see how it affects me, both in the moment and then for days after. In fact, I didn't touch a drop of alcohol during January. This year, I'm generally rising at 4:00 or 4:30, which means I'm at the office by five.
I tend to be an early riser anyhow, but early for me means about six o'clock. I do not allow myself to play games (or engage in other shenanigans) at the office. I've rented office space outside the house.I've made three specific changes that I believe have contributed to this improvement: I'm pleased to report that the first five weeks of the year have gone swimmingly. Going into 2020, I decided I needed to make some changes. By objective standards, my life was pretty good.
