Having a Ramen week!

[deadhp1]

So I've decided that once a month I'll be using my own method for generating funds to invest in altcoins.

I call it having a "Ramen Week".

For the last week instead of cooking or eating out, I've made Ramen for dinner.
I saved $97!
With the "savings", I bought altcoins.
Altcoins that now total up to $873 in value.

I could lose it all and it would bother me one bit, because that initial investment of $97 would of just ended up toilet.


Anyone else wanna try having a Ramen Week?

I think you should value your health above your coins.

A ramen week isn't healthy.

I would suggest simply cutting out junk foods, rather than healthy foods. Like cutting out soda, desserts, Gummy bears and other snacks, smokes, or just any kind of pleasure food for 1 week, then at the end of that week, using that money for crypto.

That said, it's also a good idea to fast once a week. So if you'd rather do this, because it's healthier -- just eat only veggies for a whole day, once a week. Use the money you don't spend for crypto.

These two options are far healthier than a ramen week. Try them =)

LOL, Ramen is very unhealthy.  It's very high in sodium.
It's important that anyone trying a ramen week, consider using half the seasoning packet.
Ramen is also boring.  Steaming some veggies and adding them can change it up quite nicely.

I only cut out dinner, which for me is usually the most expensive and unhealthy meal I eat.
This included cutting out soda and desserts.

For me, and I suspect, many others on this board a ramen week may actually be a healthy upgrade.

I've done this, and done it recently.  And it's been more like Ramen months for me--I kid you not.  I get a hard on for saving money, and 1) Quitting smoking, and 2) Eating cheaply, which includes Ramen noodles, has really put some dollars in my pocket.  Since I really like the Marchuran brand of Ramen, the kind that comes in one of those little trays that you microwave.  Spicy chicken flavored is the best, btw, with a little olive oil.  Mmmm.

WHOAH. There's a spicy chicken manchuran??? At Walmart there's only Beef or chicken... where do you get the spicy chicken one? my gosh! that would be an awesome switch up.

The one I buy is the one that comes in those rectangle plastic packs (not the cup of noodles).

You may be saving money by eating Ramen noodles everyday but when you end up with health problems, your medical bills will be much higher than what you saved on eating real meals.  Money can't buy health, if it did, rich people would live forever.

This is an interesting idea, and when you spend money on instant noodles every day to invest in encrypted money markets, you can have a good return in the future.
But please pay attention to the body, the long-term eat bubble to face the body is not good.

You can do that for a week but not for life. That is a good intention to cut down expenses for an investment but your health is at risk when you continue this kind on mentality. I know you can earn a lot when you are healthy so consider having good foods, also not those expensive foods. Good food, Good life.

Medical bills are only a problem if you go to doctors.
I don't want to live forever and having someone wiping my ass when I'm 90.

I'm not advocating eating off the Mcdonalds dollar menu.  
What I'm doing is just running my engine off of low octane fuel for a bit every so often.
Substitute Ramen with a cup or rice, a salad, or wild caught fish...as long as it saves money for that 1 week a month.

I just thought of another good way for OP to save money. If he lives next to the grocery, he can walk / jog instead of driving. He can use the saved gas money to buy crypto every month.

Exercise like that also saves his health and lengthens his life

[deadhp1]

I already save on gas when I have to time to walk/jog.  With the weather, It's just not a predictable or reliable as adjusting my diet.
I really like the idea of putting those savings into crypto too.

Sticking with the ramen idea for now as I have a case to get through.
I hope next month is as good as this one was!

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.  If you just ate ramen in a week, you might be able to lose weight which is good if you are fatter and needs to be healthier.  Its probably a good habit to do after all you won't die if you just do it in a week. I'm just not ready to do it myself but I think this is a good practise, you save some money and make yourself healthy.

It needn't be Ramen (although they can be wholesome  with the right ingredients).   Its just a placeholder for saving money with fast and cheap "cooking" and do other money saving things for one week
A great thread, that reminds us, how we can make crypto money with little effort in a short time.
Quitting smoking, as The Pharmacist did, could get new power of success with the idea, to put the saved money into cryptos.
I will definitely try the "Ramen week".

Don't spoil your health! Better find a part-time job and earned money to invest in cryptocurrency. It will be the best solution to the problem.

Ramen weeks? I have had ramen months (back home we just call it Maggi meals or instant noodle diets). They can actually be more expensive than eating healthy meals, as we found out. Cook rice and fresh vegetables with a share of eggs for protein and you actually beat the budget without resorting to noodles. Maybe it is different in Asia though, as I know in Europe food is expensive and ramen tastes like heaven to you foreign people.

$100 savings in a week is a hell lot of money though. I suppose no harm to do this diet for a month and invest savings into 4 nice altcoins.

[eldub]

Excellent idea. You will learn to be frugal while building a retirement account. Good job!

[joelou]

I think ramen every week is not good in our health.too much sodium in our body it can cause a kidney stones.  I suggest you healthy foods like bananas apple any kind of fruits that can make your body's healthy. 

[emmmmm]

Ramen weeks? It's a very interesting idea, and I think I'll follow your point of view. I also want to create a ramen week, so that the savings can be more invested in cryptocurrency.

[frowsiter]

Haha, that's something cool I guess. It could be best way for managing your money. I mean we can save up money which we are spending on the unwanted things and which we could end up spending on best altcoins in the market. Sometimes we might hit best altcoin that might change our portfolio to something extraordinary.

So it's worth having Ramen week and save on the outside food. Also that food can just get flushed to the toilet next day but if you got lucky and hit the jackpot coin then we may just have hundreds of dinner outside. Haha.

[Wind_Crypto]

haha i agree on the health bit, good attitude and mentality, but take care of ur health bro. there must be healthier stuff u can cook some cheap veg and fruits perhaps?
