    I respect it. When I got my first full time job after college I was putting away $1,000 a month by paying attention to my spending. One part of my saving strategy was to go to the supermarket every Sunday after church and get a lb of cold cut meat, 1/2 lb of sliced cheese and a loaf of bread and that was my lunch for the week. My friends used to laugh, but I save $24,000 in 2yrs.
