The Experiment
I was reading an article written by a well-known column writer/former nude model and I got inspired.. Throughout the month of February she will live off of only 1800 kr (readers from abroad do the math..) transport not included.... She write in the article that there are people living off this amount monthly and that SHE can do it too..! I will go as high as to 2500 kr. since my transport costs 720 kr a month.. it equals in the end!
I have absolutely NO idea how this is gonna go - It might go totally awry and I'll succumb to my comfortable lifestyle after only a few days - it's just that my level of comfort is no longer and it's definately not controlled by food and the amount of money I'd usually spend on it. Spending money on food that made me feel comforted.. Also, I have no desire to become a shopaholic - yet - so I see it as a rare oppotunity to work on my financial skill(s) - or perhaps the lack of them. I think I'll give it a go - it's worth a shot..
Yeah - you can call me crazy now!

That sounds interesting! I did the maths and figure it's about 80 Euro per week. I think that's doable, for a single person. Provided you don't go out and you make wise choices regarding where you shop for groceries. Maybe you'll rediscover your local library?
ReplyDeleteI'm very interested to see how that goes - keep us updated!
@Babaloo: I most definately will... I think it's doable as well..and I will make sensible choices - I have a Netto right where I live and pretty much always shop groceries there anyways.. I reckon I'll be surprised and hopefully I'll get a taste for saving money... ;o/
ReplyDeleteHatten af.
ReplyDeleteJeg tilslutter mig nu ikke klubben, da det vil kræve at jeg fravælger økologien i en række tilfælde, - og det ønsker jeg ikke. Jeg har råd til at tænke på miljøet og fair trade, når jeg handler.
Skør! Jamen, det var du jo allerede. *gg* Så hvad mener du med, at vi kan kalde dig skør nu. ;o)
Bliver spændende at høre, om det lykkes for dig.

@FrSlagelse: Jeg har skam også råd til at tænke på miljøet - forstår ikke helt din kommentar?
ReplyDeleteJeg ønsker blot at "få råd" til flere oplevelser.. :o)
