Things I’ve done so far to better our lives since finding TBM last month: •switched amazon prime to prime student- (WONT cancel because being overseas. Amazon is a lifesaver) •bought reusable ziplocks-no more plastic ziplock bags •started using the diva cup instead of tampons •canceled subscriptions (bark box, chegg, grammerly, HBO, Starz and many more) •informed my family I WILL NOT be doing holidays or birthdays this year, in effort to pay off ALL debt and save for a trip that was already planned •got serious about couponing and buying local produce (which is cheaper than commissary) •cut utility costs by not running water for to long and turning off (&unplugging) when not in a room •bought eco friendly plates, no more plastic or glass (my gf tends to brake the glass ones ♀️) •selling things we don’t use or need •no more plastic bottles ( hydro flasks are life) •downloaded Supercook app so I can utilize and cook what we already have (only spent $30 on food so far this month) •started Roth IRA •changed our cleaning lady from bi-weekly to once a month ($65 isn’t horrible and can fit into our budget) •bought dryer balls (suggested by Miko) no more dryer sheets •making the most out of savings with amazons subscribe and save. I get our wash pods, cat litter, vitamins, and cat food delivered monthly now. Costs less and saves me gas •contemplating selling my empanadas for extra cash as a side hustle (haven’t decided yet because school and 5 animals keeps me pretty busy ) I’m sure there’s more I can’t think of right now, but this is just a small (longish) list of how my life has changed in just a month with TBM. I can’t wait to see how the rest of the year goes. Here’s to a better financial & debt free future! How has TBM changed your life so far?
