I am at the end of my first month on my MMM budget. (I am a YNAB user so I budget monthly) I am happy to say that I got my savings rate up to 65% for the month. I am reasonably certain I can maintain a 60-65% savings rate for the long term.
Some things I did included riding the bus to work most days (my employer covers this cost), cancelling cable, rediscovering thrift stores, staying away from Starbucks, packing my lunch every day, and riding my bike more often to get around on the weekends. I wasn't doing too bad before so some things I have done in the past few months include refinancing my mortgage for 15 years under 3%, cancelling housecleaning service, and reducing my eating out budget.
I always liked the idea of frugality, but I never had any specific goals to keep me on track. Now I can imagine leaving my high paying, but very high stress profession in 10-12 years and enjoying a slower pace of life. Thanks MMM and community for showing me the way!
