Yeah man, let me know what you think of Digit!

And love everything you’re tracking and setting up over there – sounds like you’re killing it :)

You are kicking ass. We did something similar in 2014 where we made decisions that saved us over $1,500 month or $18,000 for the year. It adds up really quickly. However I still think we have plenty of room to cut…I still can’t believe how much money we are spending.

I just started tracking everything more closely with my first of many monthly net worth reports like you put out on your blog. I include Gross Income, Expenses, Net Worth, and goal tracking to pay off the mortgage in 7 years or less (before we are 35).

I will have to go and check out Digit that you mention above.

Keep crushing it dude!

YES! Mindset first – for sure. The money is nice too of course, but it’s all so FREEING feeling and a nice rush every time one more thing leaves your house.

Start looking around your house when you’re walking room to room and get started! :)

This WAS REALLY inspiring. I have it in my head that I have “nothing” to sell. I have a guitar I found on the street that I restrung and never play. I also have a keyboard that I play once every 2 years, might keep that one though. But You put up and accepted $5 for a dart board, I wouldn’t even have thought that $5 would matter. But this article shows me it’s more about the mind set and the habit then the actual dollar amount, plus it helps you declutter and I love that.
Thank you!! You’re always an inspiration!

Wow, well done! As someone else said, a very inspiring update, especially the selling stuff – I have a load of unwanted stuff that I should sell on ebay – perhaps I need to designate a day, like your ‘Friday CL Listing’ to start listing things on ebay!
