Chose the bus over my car for a month straight

I live in Phoenix and normally drive everywhere. Switched to the bus for my daily commute 4 weeks ago. Saved like $60 on gas and felt less stressed not fighting traffic. Anyone else try ditching their car for a set time?

Did you notice any difference in your monthly budget overall?

Oh man, I actually saw a pretty big shift once I started meal prepping on Sundays. It kept me from grabbing lunch out every day, which was eating up like $50 a week before I realized it. Grocery costs went up a little bit but the overall savings were still like $80-$100 a month easy. What really got me was how much less I wasted on random convenience store snacks too. It's wild how those little daily purchases add up faster than you'd think lol.
