- Eating. We all do it. We all need to do it. Some of us do it 3 times a day, others 5 times a day. Many of us prefer to eat rather than cook. Wherever you find yourselves on the spectrum of food consumption we all have to purchase food. And we will be purchasing food to eat food for the rest of our lives. So why not start saving? (did that feel like a jump? It kinda was.) but if you’re like me and you really enjoy those opportunities (and want to have more opportunities) to have someone else make your food so you can eat that food then utilize Axos (frugalfriendpodcast.com/axos) bank for their high-yield savings account so you can start earning .61% on your money for more chances to eat in the future. Eating – a lifetime event.

Bill of The Week
Thank you Kim from Madison for sharing your bill about your book cover that you bought! And for becoming a writer and putting a book out there! congratulations!
Thanks so Much for Listening!
Thanks so much for listening! Many of you know we have a private community where we do monthly money challenges and offer accountability groups. We want to congratulate one of our members for a big win:
✰✰✰✰✰
We have paid off $10,000!
We have a personal loan that came from consolidating our consumer debt that we'll be paying off by May this year - it was scheduled to be paid off in January 2023.
The biggest thing that helped was doing the No Spend Challenge! It made us really think about any purchase before actually going through with it. Most of the time, we ended up not buying that item(s) anyway because we didn't really need it. When the challenge was over, we had developed the habit of not making any impulse purchases and that has helped tremendously! My hubby appreciated the challenge so much that we've already scheduled 2 other no spend months this year, just to keep us in check. We use the "extra" money towards aggressively paying off more debt or adding a large chunk into our savings.
Congrats Zerlynn! Thanks for listening and if you want to check out our monthly challenge community head to frugalfriendspodcast.com/club to see what challenge we have coming up next.
