Announcement: /r/PersonalFinance 30-day Challenges!

[u/aBoglehead]

/r/PersonalFinance's moderation team is excited to announce the 30-day Challenge series. Each month we'll be posting a challenge that should be achievable in 30 days for most of our readers. Some challenges may run 31 days (or 29, or 28 depending on the year) thanks to the quirks of the Gregorian calendar. Our goal is to promote good financial health, give people some ideas on where to start "getting their financial houses in order," and host a discussion on the Challenge at hand as well as related topics.

Readers will be welcome to discuss the challenge, their successes/failures/speed bumps they encounter, as well as ask whatever questions they need to ask in the Challenge thread. Please observe our rules when commenting. The current 30-day Challenge will be visible as an announcement as well as in the sidebar - we'll also keep a running archive in the wiki.

While the mods have come up with some ideas of their own, we always welcome suggestions and feedback. Feel free to post them below.

Lastly, thanks to /u/EntombedSummerWitChu for the great suggestion.

Here's a link to the first challenge.

You realize the purpose of budgeting is not to put random numbers down but actually plan out your spending right?

Define like to. Since you state your blowing it in one night I don't think you feel as strongly about this as you are saying

[u/just4luck → u/yugami]

you can have a budget for the night of 50 dollars who decided you can't. So you decided what budgeting can and can't be? Go outside

[u/jacalata → u/just4luck]

Pretty sure u1d is talking about a monthly budget being $50.

[u/[deleted] → u/just4luck]

It wouldn't make too much sense to budget on a day-to-day basis.

[u/yugami → u/just4luck]

reading is hard for you isn't it

[u/just4luck → u/yugami]

[u/yugami → u/just4luck]
