Financial challenge
How little can I live on in a week for basic living expenses? With increasing salary over the last few years, the amount I live on per week for simple things such as food, daily coffee, transport etc has blown out to well over $250/week. I'd guess that at least $200 of this amount goes to food. I eat out too much, buy too much alcohol (bottles of wine with meals is yummy, but very expensive), and buy too much coffee at the nearest barista.
The challenge is to see how little I can spend on necessary living expenses such as food, travel etc. The new job I'm starting soon will pay all living expenses, so I don't have a motivation to make this as small as possible. Instead I'll see how little I can spend on other things like holiday travel on the weekends (in NZ yeah!) and other day to day expenses. It's unrealistic to do this for a prolonged period of time, so I'll just start at a week and see how many weeks I want to do this for.
This starts tomorrow so I'll post the first set of results in a week.
