Counting Pennies

Come February, I’m moving to Vietnam. That’s right. Vietnam. For a year. With my fiancé. Besides all the obvious things that implies, I also need to think about saving as much money as possible during the next two months so I don’t arrive in a new country with just pocket change.

So starting today, I’m on a major (and I do mean MAJOR) savings mission. No spending on anything that’s not strictly life-sustaining. And even then, I’m choosing the cheapest option, trying to do without or extending its life for as long as possible. And I’ll make sure I report about it on a daily basis.

I do have some “extravagant” expenses that I’ve already committed to, such as the Christmas swaps, so I’ll do my best to keep costs to a minimum and then make sure I don’t get into anything new.

This is going to be interesting.
