How I Lived a Year on Just a Pound a Day by Kath Kelly

Kath Kelly was broke. That was ok, as all her friends were, too. But she had an important event to budget for, just a year away. One drunken night, she made a rash decision: to live on just a pound a day for the next twelve months. In 12 month-by-month chapters, she tells how a mission to cut her spending to the bone showed her another side of herself and of human nature. Through a year like no year she had spent before, she discovered how greed and waste was messing up people - to say nothing of the planet - and came to see how much fun can be had on a few pennies a day.


I wouldn't like to do it as tight as she did, but it does make you think about how much do you really nedd to spend.  Brings back memories of our tight budgeting days, and how much fun it often was.
