Today is the end of my weekly budget, and here is my spending and savings:
From last week on I reduced my weekly allowance from $200 to $150; this allowance includes my grocery shopping, dining out/coffee as well as transportation expenses.
I could not stay below my limit this week, but it is lower than $200 (yay!): my total weekly spending in this category was $164. I took the cab every morning this week, which was the main inflator of the expenses.
The savings from would-be-expenses (expenses I would usually do or I was tempted to do, but did not) are $43.5. This amount is low but nevertheless I am grateful.
Overall, as I expected my plan to further reduce my expenses seems more or less functional, but certainly I need to follow this new budget ceiling for sometime to see whether it is stable.
In the meantime, since tomorrow is the beginning of my new budget week, I immediately started feeling rich 🙂
Life as I interpret it 
Congratulations on staying below $200 this week.

It’s surprising how little savings can make one feel instantly rich. It truly is the little things 😅

for me it is absolutely the positive side of this budgeting that keeps me going. However small it can be, I kept the saved money, rather than losing it. This makes me happy 🙂
