    heya @555 how are you travelling today? Thought of any creative ways to save? I know people who find the 50 30 20 method. 50% goes to living expenses, 30% to general spending - like any subscriptions, clothes basically non-necessities and then 20% goes to savings. maybe that's a useful starting point?

    Hi @555,
    Thank you for sharing!
    I'm sorry to hear you didn't find the 100 day challenge helpful. But of course you can give it another try, because it might be a different situation when you are now comparing to before. There is also a 100 Day challenge thread in this forum you are welcome to use. You can check in here everyday or as often as you want about your journey. You can share your thoughts about how to go through the day or your plan for the day. Other members often support each other in their journey and share their experience. You can try out here as well.
