Prove you’re ready to survive life on the high seas. Choose one expense to eliminate entirely, and make it walk the plank! Cancel an unnecessary service or break a habit. This could be a hard decision, but now’s the time to make it.
It doesn’t matter what—just choose something to eliminate. Then, every time you go without your favorite cable channel, skip your morning latte, or drink water instead of soda, you’ll prove to yourself and to the world around you that you’re in control of your spending, not the other way around.
Don’t worry: it can be temporary. Once you have your emergency fund fully established, you can bring back the expense if you really can’t live without it any longer…but you might be surprised to find that it wasn’t so important after all.
Make your decision, and record your goal in the Adventure Journal for more Frugality Tokens. When you’re ready, play the Match for Money game again to embark on another quest.
