<prompt> Human: My partner and I have been trying to save for an out of state move for the past 5 months but hadnt really saved up anything substantial until last month. Both of us are early twenties and have decent jobs for our age. We were just trying to spend less money in a very vague sense. Obviously, not having a concrete budget kept us from saving anything at all. I think in the first three months, we managed to save maybe 100 total. I read a ton of posts on here about budgeting and saving. I sat down with my partner and we went over everything we were spending our money on. We were averaging 500 a month each so 1000 total!!! in going out to eat and another 200 each going clubbing with friends! We came up with a game plan to make Sunday night into a meal prep date night and started asking our friends to go to the local museum free on Wednesdays! And only 5 every other night or similar cheapfree local events another benefit from this is fewer hangovers and even our friends are losing some weight and saving more money. The hardest thing for me was quitting my daily Starbucks run, but now Im really starting to enjoy making a coffee every morning while I pack my lunch saves an extra 30 a week!!Guys, we saved 600 each just this month. And well probably save more since we had a couple burned meals and forgotten lunches. On top of that, I feel like our relationship is a lot better. We now cook dinner together basically every night, going out is a monthly treat thats really exciting instead of something we do twice a weekend, and we get to watch ourselves make progress towards a huge goal. All I can say is thank you. I couldnt have done this without all of your hard work and passion. Thanks for making a lifelong dream into a reality. Were thinking well be able to move by October.  <response>: Yesss. All of these things! So glad that you have joined the cult. Now go out and spread the good news of budgets! XD
