Results are in for April! What did I learn?

When I started this journey, I stated that my goal was to live a a fantastic fun life, spending little to no money. I also planned to monitor my spending habits so I see "where it's all going". Mortgage, utilities, medical expenses, basic groceries and health/hygiene needs are out of scope for this blog. Hair, makeup, clothes, entertainment, and fitness are all fair game. I'm even including my job and job-searching related expenses. I wanted to prove that you don't have to spend a lot or even any money to look good and and have a good time. So how did I spend $109 in the month of April?

Beauty:             $3
Clothes:            $0
Entertainment:  $0
Food:              $15
Job Related:    $97
------------------------
Total:              $115

And what did I get for this money? A whole new look in makeup, a breakfast and a lunch out, a dinner meeting at my local Project Management Institute Chapter, a job networking session, and new black pants and shoes for my new job as a barista. I also went on a camping trip, attended a job expo, free yoga class, free guided meditation classes, an extreme block party, a Girls Night Out, and volunteered. I cut my fast food expenses way down from last month - and now make my own coffee at home. Plus I'm eating much healthier at home.
