In reply to Josh. Still, that was a unique situation and it sounds like you did your best to cut down on eating out and other expenses. I think a lot of people in your situation would have simply gone out to eat for every meal.

Great post & I definitely recommend leftovers & buying at discount as much as practical. I’m trying got remember my single days….2 years ago. My circumstances were unique in that I drove a lot for my job (100-250 miles per day) plus an overnight hotel stay for a day or two each week. I tried packing what meals I could & had various nuts and granola bars in my company car but would still eat at least one meal per day at a restaurant. My rule of thumb was $10 for fast food & $15-20 for sit down after tip. I made a good salary & was debt free so I really didn’t feel it in my wallet. Looking back, that’s a lot of money over 3 years time (how long I had that position) that could have been put towards something else (investing, trips, house down payment, etc).

Great post, Kayla! Being single definitely presents different financial challenges than being married, but it sounds like you’ve come up with good ways to deal with them.
