Friday Finance Challenge: Presidental Edition

Hello readers! I hope that you liked your week of presidential themed posts! I can tell you that I had a lot of fun doing it. I liked so much in fact that there will probably be many more theme weeks in the coming months. So be sure to stay tuned for that awesomeness!

This week's Friday Finance Challenge isn't necessarily presidential, but definitely a political thing. Now that you know how much you spend in a weekend (or week), I am challenging you to cut your pork-barrel spending by at least $25. Yep - I said it.

Spend less than $25 this weekend and then report back here to let me know what you cut out of your spending. Times are tough people ... it's time that we all take a good hard look at what we don't need to be spending on stuff and then stop spending that money.

What you do with the extra $25 you have at the end of the weekend is up to you, but just so you know, spending it will defeat the whole purpose. Instead, I would put it toward a payment to a credit card or that student loan debt you have. Or you might think about opening up a savings account and making it your first deposit.

Now go forth and be frugal. Well, be more frugal than you were last week at least.
