Recently, due to a series of more expensive endeavors and some bad decision-making in general, my coffers have been running a little dry. I still have a job that pays relatively well, but those concerts and bottles of good bourbon don’t buy themselves. So I have been trying to figure out new ways to reduce spending without changing my (drinking) habits too much. The most recent strategy? Sleep. Now I’m no doctor, but I’m relatively sure that the time we burn the least amount of calories is while sleeping. All sorts of systems are shut off while you sleep. Digestion is nixed, conscious thought – gone, and obviously there is very little movement in your skeletal muscle. Just like a car, the less you drive it, the less money you need to add to the tank.
So during the weekends, after spending far too much money on booze and junk food the night before, I’ve been sleeping in. Way in. I woke up at 1:30PM today. As of this writing (5 hrs of being awake), I’ve had two hot dogs and a PB&J. I’ll probably rocket down a box of mac and chee for dinner, which brings my food expenditure well below $5 a day.
While this strategy seems to be working so far, I think I’m going to have to supplement this strategy with something that contains more “vitamins and minerals”. The sodium intake is starting to take its toll.

Amazing. Past two days I've only eaten once a day out of laziness. Stuffed my face with Thai food on Sunday. Ate 3 slices of pizza @ lunch yesterday, okay I lied, I had fried pickles at night.
