did you ever just want to go thru a day or 2 with out spending any money?
darn...it seems like everyday it is a 20-75 bill out of my pocket lately. i was hoping to have at least 1 day this week with out spending any $...geez! I just had to replace the distributer in my golf....:confused: i feel like i am bailing against the tide.

I've never seen a 75 dollar bill :)

Yes and it is healthy (mentally/physically/fiscally) and not all the difficult if you keep a well stocked kitchen, presuming your car doesn't break down on a daily basis.
YMMV Have you ever gone camping? |
Yep. All the time. I try to go Monday-Thursday without spending any money, if possible.
|
Naw, I like spending money.
|
Money is for spendin'. Can't take it with you.

Some words of advice I once received on this subject made sense to me: Keep your life simple and before you buy something think: In 6 months will I remember that I have bought, or not bought this item and will that something still mean something to me.
ie food: You'll remember if you starved or you might think you spent too much at that restaurant, or you splurged and it was worth it. or going to the Kart track on a regular basis: I won't remember what lap times I ran or anything special about that week. Therefor I only go with friends on a rare occasion and those days I do remember and I consider money well spent. This mentality has helped me spend money on things that are important to me and keep frivolous spending down. |
I go through weeks without actually spending any money out of my pocket (or even a card). When on the road its all expensed, when home I fill the tank every 3 to 4 weeks. I bring my lunch and I may hit a store once every week or 2. Now my Wife, well thats another story...
BTW - I have been tracking the cost of my eating over the past few weeks - I am keeping it under $4/day and still eating healthy! |

Hmmmm..Mortgage payment, Property Taxes, House Insurance, Car insurance, Utility bills, Food bills, other miscellaneous expenses. ...just try and get away from those.
I live very low to the ground overall, the only real expense is for my addiction, collecting spoons. Most of U would be aghast at the extent of my spoon collections. |

It's all about cash flow. I don't keep the greatest books but I know I put at least $30k (in cash) on the street last month. I can't wait for the tax refunds to start.
tabs, I have a few spoons to sell. What are you looking for? Jim |
You'd have to be locked in a dark closet in order not to spend a penny. My usual day (Monday thru Thursday) consists of a $1.25 toll in the morning and most days just whatever I use in gas from driving to and from work. The weekends are when I end up running up the credit cards.
