The experiment starts with one major behavior change: not eating out at restaurants. I’m documenting what happens when I stop eating out, stop buying things I don’t need, and put the money toward my debt.
The first priorities
Waste less. Use what I already have, cook at home, and make fewer unnecessary purchases.
Save money. Redirect money that would have gone toward restaurants and impulse purchases.
Live sustainably. Build habits that are financially and environmentally easier to maintain over time.
