When you're on a tight budget going out to eat daily at work can be a huge unnecessary experience. Fight this by organizing "Money Lunches" where coworkers can gather together to eat brown bag lunches, discuss their finances, and build good money habits.
Finance weblog Main Street writer Erin Frank first came together for money lunches after joking about how they were broke most of the time. She and a few coworkers started to gather in a conference room so they could socialize while eating lunches brought from home and share their current financial reality and their goals for the future. Part lunch-club and part support group these money lunches provided a forum to discuss how to eliminate debt and save for a rainy day in addition to giving each other reality checks when tempted to blow their financial progress on a new car or iPad. Erin credits these money lunches for helping her to kill $35,000 in debt over a few years on her $27,000 salary in New York City.
You may not be comfortable sharing all of your financial details with coworkers but having a way to be social while bringing your lunch and having a forum to discuss rough finances can be helpful to anyone who is taking time for austerity now to plan for their financial future.
