In January, I completed the Elon Musk Challenge, spending just $60 on food for the month.
More recently, I simulated the lives of millions of Americans who earn minimum or nearly minimum wage and lived on an $8.15-an-hour salary for 30 days.
After completing these challenges in one of the most expensive US cities - New York - I've learned a thing or two about how to effectively stretch a limited amount of money. While both of these scenarios were extreme, many of the strategies I used can be applied to my everyday life - and perhaps yours.
If you're looking to save more and spend less, here are my ten best tips.
