I just took the Quicken Spare Change Challenge and it didn’t turn out too well! I know I waste money on a lot of things each month (Starbucks almost every day), but $400 was more than I was expecting.
Nothing too scientific here, but this little quiz will definitely show you a few areas that you could save a few more bucks.
Check it out and see how much money tou are wasting!
How Much Do I Waste?



I took the test and it said I waste $982 monthly. Oops!
Lucass last blog post..Are Typo Domains Worth It?
The test showed I waste $796 monthly but I don’t think I really waste that much. A lot of the questions didn’t really apply to me lol.

Yeah, like I said… Nothing really scientific here, but there definitely are some things that it brings up that could help just about anyone save money.
According to that test, I waste $332 on food. We don’t eat out much, but we do toss a lot of produce. I feel terrible about it, too, particularly when people in the world are actually going hungry.
But I must say that compared to some of the scores I am seeing, we are doing quite well!
Fortunately I don’t waste that much!
That was a funny little test! At first I wasn’t sure I wasted as much as they claimed, but after reading their tips and such, I could see how they’d come up with such a high number for me. It’s good to get some perspective!
Hope you don’t mind, but I posted about this on my blog too (gave you a link.)
Not at all Fergie! Thanks for the link!
I just took the test and it says that I’m wasting more than $700.
I think that it isn’t reliable since most of the question isn’t applicable for me.

I remember reading about Henry Ford, and him doing this for his company. On a daily basis, he would write down everything he spent.
He attributed this as one of the things that made him successful.

Thanks for the link, I’ll take the test with my wife this afternoon and follow back up with the results…I have a bad feeling about this
yeah $ 400 is a huge amount. you have a great blog here. hope you will hit the right code soon.
It said I waste over $900 a month. I don’t make that much. I am a student still so it probably not geared as much towards me as a full time worker.

I don’t waste that much, just a little amount
Wow great challenge, I think everybody’s number will surprise them. It’s amazing how much money we waste when we really think about it.
