I was surprised to see I had spent nearly $11,000 on DoorDash deliveries. I'm now cooking at home to save money.
Briefly

Spending nearly $11,000 on DoorDash revealed unsustainable food delivery habits. A surprising diabetes diagnosis led to a gym membership investment and a commitment to cooking at home. Immediately after the diagnosis, spending on deliveries increased, highlighting an unconscious dependency. However, by joining UFC Gym and focusing on health, A1C levels significantly improved, demonstrating the effectiveness of lifestyle changes and financial discipline. Currently, plans are in place to save over $10,000 by avoiding previous food delivery expenditures.
I had spent a staggering $10,952.14 on DoorDash alone, which is 195 separate orders averaging around $56 each.
After my diagnosis, I made one immediate financial decision: I signed up for a UFC Gym membership on July 19.
By October, my A1C had dropped from 14.9 to 7.4, my doctor called it 'almost at goal'.
Now, I'm on track to save over $10,000 this year by breaking the habit that was draining my wallet without me even noticing.
