june's almost 1-year resolutions

I spent $22 last year on atm withdrawal fees. That's practically $2/month I could've spent on something else like a cup of Dunkin' Donuts coffee.

I also started bringing my lunch to work and its working out really well. Not only am I saving between $20-$40/week ($1040-$2080/year!) on food, but none of the food I've bought in the past two weeks has spoiled because its getting used for that extra meal.

And I've since been buying more fresh fruits and vegetables, using plastic containers, and reducing the waste I would have used (and partially paid to support the use of) if I were buying lunch.

Hopefully it means that I'm eating healthier food that's fresh and less processed, and I think its helped my morning routine to become a little bit more of just that, a routine, instead of just rolling out of bed and hitting the snooze button a bunch of times and still ending up at work a half hour to 45mins late.
