This was my initial numbers entry from February 26, 2011 and I thought it was about time for an update.

A quick update to make myself feel better after a difficult week of being carfree. When it comes right down to it, money makes things happen. Like it or not, its the truth. I believe that money is the fuel in an engine and how we choose to build and use that engine is up to us. With any great tool, it can be used for good or evil…it all depends on the people using it.  The numbers-

• Money Saved- $460.00
• Lease Payment- 267
• Insurance- 148
• Avg Gas Exp- 45.00

This is a very basic and quick look at what I would have paid and will continue to not pay each month. As I take the time to dig into the details, Ill be sure to pass along the additional numbers and include as many of the one-time events, transactions.Not to be completely biased, there have been some transactions made to get to this point. Money Spent- $217.99

Commuter Bike- 80

Rack, lock,lights, Acc- 125

Total to date- Saved $242.01
