For those of you who are unfamiliar with the #FrugalityChallenge, I highly recommend you check out this post, and then join us on Twitter.
For those of you who are familiar, I wanted to share some of the major wins we’ve had this year. As we strive to better our finances through saving on everyday purchases, stashing money away for retirement, and hustling like the best of them, we tend to do some amazing things.
Here are some of the amazing things we’ve done in 2016:
- Middle Class has fully funded her IRA for the year.
- Hannah has given birth to a gorgeous child and continued rocking it in the challenge.
- This Wife’s Life has paid off her car loan early. (Our family did, too!)
- Ruth has said no to some major temptations.
- Claudia has hustled her way to an amazing side business.
Plus we have fun pictures to document our journey:

We’d love it if you joined us! If you have been kicking 2016’s butt analog-style sans competition, please share it in the comments. Let’s celebrate all the wins!
Already participating and I missed your big win? I’m sorry. I suck. Let me know in the comments or by shooting me an email and I’ll get you all linked up. Twitter isn’t always the best for tracking, but it sure is a fun way to keep tabs on our progress!
I got that same free chipotle coupon and used it! I think I need to jump back into the challenge, but I’m wondering if I should wait until AFTER my vacation in early May? 🙂
That’s awesome! It’s totally up to you. I have good weeks and “bad” weeks even when I’m at home! 🙂
I need to send you that form for the contest.
Love all the frugality challenge pictures!
Got it! Thank you! Super excited. I’ll get this together in the next couple of days. We’re going to have some happy campers, methinks. 🙂
Very fun! I love the friendly competition and the pictures!
We have a good time! Feel free to join us anytime!
I think I have to bail on this month’s challenge due to extreme frugal fail!
Oh no! Not all about focusing on negatives, but what happened? Even if there was one frugal fail, you don’t get negative points, no matter how massive. So feel free to keep it up! You’re doing really well as far as the positives are concerned!
#FrugalityChallenge is awesome! I really suck at remembering to post my moments, but there are definitely times in my life when it would’ve been a super motivator and I would’ve been all over (just not while I’m on tour – it’s never my frugalist time). And it’s a terrific, supportive community!
