My car needed a $1,200 repair, so I chose to bike to work for a month instead.
The shop told me my transmission was starting to go, and the fix was more than I had in my emergency fund. I decided to put off the repair, dust off my old bike, and ride the 4 miles to my office in Portland every day. It was tough at first, but I saved the whole repair cost and felt a lot better. Has anyone else delayed a big expense with a temporary change that worked out well?

Wow, my friend skipped a gym membership for a year by just doing push-ups at home.

Imagine the money he saved for better food or new shoes.

So your friend only works on his front side for a whole year? That's a bold strategy. I guess he's going for that classic "chicken legs and a barrel chest" look. Hope he enjoys opening every door with his face because his back muscles will have quit. Honestly, skipping the gym is fine but maybe mix in a squat or two.
