New Minute New Me!
As we approach a new year, I always see the same thing every year. -"This year is going to be different!" -"I'm going to become a healthier version of myself!" -"New Year, New Me!"

Now i'm assuming they are probably spending about 20 dollars per meal depending on where they go. Then I ask how often are you on the run and stop at a gas station to grab a candy bar or something.
