In 2009 American citizens became what the banks made them--actually it was our overspending underplanning fault, but let's keep on track here--a penny pinching, coupon using, deal hunting people who view every tank of gas as an investment, and every cell phone bill as a possible tipping point for home foreclosure.
Linz and I came up with the (noble, selfless) idea of showing just how little one can spend in a month to help out with the spending habits of the masses. For me this will include a ramp up in video game playing and becoming a shut in, also I will not be able to donate to all my favorite charities. For Linz it will include foregoing those Tiffany earrings and Manolo Blahnik shoes. Remember it's all relative to our normal lives, so this will be quite a social shock for the both of us.
This will be a no holds barred, pull out all the stops, gutter war for the prize (TBD). We'll update weekly with reasons (Ry) and excuses (Linz) for the money we spent. There is really no loser here (aside from my Asian counterpart).
