A woman named Michelle McGagh in London, England made a New Year’s resolution last year to not buy ANYTHING in 2016…and she stuck to it! The only things she spent money on were her mortgage, bills and insurance, which were about $2,300 a month.  Then she gave herself a budget for food and toiletries of $43 a week. She canceled all the “extras,” like Netflix and her gym membership. Michelle didn’t go out to eat or buy any new clothes. She ended up saving a whopping $27,000! (Photo: The Loop)
