Three hundred

Let me see if this will work.
A year ago I read about a couple that decided to end all spendings for a year. They only purchased essentials and cut their entertainment to a minimum.
Well, I'm on a mission to pay off my credit cards so I'm going see if I can keep my spendings to $300 a month. That excludes gas and 'business expenses'.

I typically charge everything onto my credit card, then I pay this big bill and wonder how I managed to rack up a bill. Everything seems important on that bill, gas, groceries, little things here and there, eating out ever so often. There's nothing extravagant on there but all those line items add up.

Feb 1st is the start date. I have $291 in my wallet now. $9 was spent eating out on Day 1.
