I got the funniest reaction to My Challenge today. When I said it would end at the end of February, he said, “You’re only doing it for a year?”
Wow. He’s a man who can put some perspective on things, huh? When I’m done with the year, it will be 365 days. Perhaps one percent of my life if I’m lucky.
Stopped me cold, it did.
Only a Year

My Challenge is to live on CA Minimum Wage for a year. After taxes, that works out to $1026 a month. The trip didn't relate to the Challenge; it was the one thing I spend extra money on during the Challenge. As far as paying for the trip, since I've been living on $1026 a month and saving everything else, I came up with the money for the trip pretty handily; in less than a half year.

I do know you'll never view money in quite the same way again.
