So, we're into week 2 of the Skinny Debt Diet (SDD), and there are 23 members and 10 discussions so far in our Skinny Debt Dieters group over at Wesabe. It's very cool, and there have been some really awesome tips and insights. The gist of the SDD is four categories: food, finances, fitness, and feelings of tips and community support to help boost your financial wellness and help you physically and fiscally since their is such a strong tie between health and money.
Here's some highlights over at our Wesabe Skinny Debt Dieters group :
Discussions started by members:
- Noticing you have more energy by canadagal
- Now that you are eating better are you shopping more? by Just_Kelly
- How are you keeping track of your finances? Thoughts on Quicken by SehnsuctMDPhD
Three hottest discussions:
- Can you not eat at restaurants for one month? Find out what one big factor keeps people hooked to eating out, and it isn't convenience.
- Tips on decluttering your finances.
- Food: Tips on eating healthy for cheaper
Tips that I thought were most helpful:
- Throw a dinner party instead of eating out at restaurants with friends. Besides eating cheaper you can eat healthier and have good bonding time with pals which boosts emotional wellness.
- If you have outta-sight-outta-mind issues with paying bills, create a calendar of due dates and hang on your wall next to your computer.
- Look into "Community Supported Agriculture aka Organic Farm Share" to save on produce and organics.
- Some good finance organizing tips if you're a piler like me :)
- chattygirlnic did a month of no buying anything made in China, and discovered just how much is made in China. I think I might be scared to find out.
