Day 29 - Living on a Pound a Day - Join Me!

As I draw closer towards the end of this challenge, many have asked how I've been coping and managing with this financial restriction. My reply to them is "pretty well". To most this comes as quite a shock.
"How do you do it?" they then follow up with.
"Well, you should try it for yourself!"

So that's what I'm putting to you, the curious reader.
Join me!
While you may not want to go to such extremes of thrifty living, why not challenge yourself in assessing your own spending habits. Whilst, many will justify that they work too hard to subject themselves to such restrictions and meager standards, it serves to give you some insight to the banal activities you enact in your day to day life.
Consider,
The things you eat for breakfast;
The cost to commute to work/school;
That morning coffee that kicks start your day;
The casual shop at the high street retailer during your lunch break;
The social drink after work with colleagues;

All these activities carry some sort of cost that we can so often casually overlook. Multiply this 5 - 7 days a week and the costs really do stack up. If your like me and get paid monthly, we are looking at one very sad and empty bank account come the end of the month.

So could you/would you live on a pound a day? If so, let me know how you get on in the comments below.
