Last week, Jacq at RichMomSingleMom threw down her gauntlet and challenged me to a contest:
WHO CAN SPEND THE LEAST IN THE MONTH OF JUNE
Now, I am really competitive (just ask my husband) and always up for a friendly bit of competition. So I picked up the gauntlet! In the meantime, two other personal finance bloggers wanted in on the competition: Christine @ Moneyfunk and Laura @ MovetoPortugal
. So now we have 4 uber- competitive women participating in the “Catfight of the Personal Finance Blogger Chicks.” THIS IS GOING TO BE HUGE!!
Now, BarbaraFriedbergPersonalFinance strives to: Educate, Inspire, Motivate for Wealth in Money and Life. Additionally, you get basic personal and financial wealth building principles here.
This contest will serve as some “EXTREME PERSONAL FINANCE” training on your path to becoming rich and happy. And along with the competition, I promise you some unique money saving solutions and fun competition; kind of like “The Biggest Loser”, only not with lbs. but with savings.
So follow along here this month… every so often you will get a progress report on how the competition is going, and at the end of the month, a winner will be announced.
Please root me on! AND
Stay tuned for some awesome PERSONAL FINANCE entertainment.

Barb,
You asked us to root you on, but do you think I am going to take sides in a Catfight of Personal Finance Blogger Chicks? Sounds like a good way to get scratched to me.
So … I am diplomatically wishing all of you great success and may the best woman win.
Thanks for the link!
Hi Joe, Thanks for the cheering!!! Even if it’s for all of us!! Best regards, Barb
Hey Barb! I don’t even care if you or the other frugal chicks win all the categories – except groceries. I MUST WIN groceries.
Speaking of… I just spend $50 less than normal at the grocery store, yesterday.
Hey Barb,
I’m going to take a page out of Joe’s book and root for you all. That’s certainly the safest. Good luck, and may the most frugal “chick” win
I’m posting on this tomorrow but tonight I’m preparing…getting in the zone, like a Zen warrior….and locking my purse in a cupboard
So are you posting what you spent somewhere? I’m curious to see if your month of spending less is less than my regular spending!
@Laura, Christine, & Jacq; All I can say, is…. bring it on, I am pumped and ready to compete…. my credit cards are hidden, my cash is in the bank… I’m going for zero spending! (well…almost)
@Shawn-I guess being political is ok, at least you are cheering!
@the saved quarter-good idea-we’ll see what we can do!
Thanks for the cheering section-stay tuned for more.
Best regards to all, Barb
What red-blooded American male doesn’t love a good catfight?
Great idea!
Best,

Wow, that’s really interesting! I wonder how this varies from what I study at my dojo. Taekwondo Warriors – Martial Arts Academy (230 St.) 5500 Broadway, Bronx NY 10463 (718) 812-7087 is where my family and I study martial arts. I think that the Olympic Style Taekwondo is more in line with what you are discussing here.
