[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want to do it! I have a story like no other.[/quote]
Go ahead and post your version here! It would be fun to read similar weekly activity and spending breakdowns from fellow DCUMers. [/quote]

+1 Post your story!  I love reading these.[/quote]
I'm a foreigner and can't string two sentences together to save my life. Mine would NOT be about spending money, but rather saving month to month. Latest save - DC hasn't even started college yet, but has 30 credits already. Wish I had planned it, but I stayed out of his schooling. The kid missed 30 days of school and still got the credits transferred. Got to love DCPS.
I have about 100 more money tips that helped me go from poor to UMC. I skipped MC. I enjoy saving money. I'm plenty happy about the silliest things like my crystal drinking classes that cost me next to nothing, or empanadas and alfajores once a month.
I went back to her story, but all this spending made me dizzy. My life is simple - walks, gym, pool, friends, and a very part time job just to get me out of the house. I don't go to every coffee shop as it's free for me at work. So is food and booze.
I made minimum wage my whole life. My money skills allowed me to survive on minimum wage in DC. I did retire at 46, but work a little to help out.
I don't have most expenses she has. I don't even have a tax expense, or rather, I get more back than I pay.
