Ramit from the I Will Teach You To Be Rich blog (a favorite of mine) is holding a November-long 'save $1000 in 30 days' challenge.
An interesting proposition in that he's not just focusing on the cheesy normal suggestions (go to Sam's Club! start a garden! live in a cardboard box!), but is going with a 3-pronged CEO approach:
- C = Cut costs
- E = Earn more
- O = Optimize spending
Basic stuff? Yes, very basic. But Ramit consistently offers very do-able, practical advice and I know that this will be an interesting month. Everyday he'll be posting another idea on ways to cut spending and pimp out your savings.
A few other financial / money saving blogs I am addicted to:
- Consumerist
- Get Rich Slowly
- The Simple Dollar
- Blogging Away Debt
- Ikeahacker
- Instructables (easy ways to do things more cheaply)
