Just tidbits about money and finance.

I blame J. Savings. He’s just mad that I spend less on clothing each year than he does.
I just won a $25 Threadless gift card in a contest giveaway he was running. Yippee!
I used it to buy two t-shirts for me ($9 & $5) and order a cute t-shirt for one of my nephews for [...]

I thought about this after posting that I had two No Spend Days last week. What were the key things that got me there.
1. Driving motivation to be lazy. The days I don’t spend money are days that I don’t want to deal with the general public, i.e. avoid retail spaces. My desire to be [...]

Brian @ My Next Buck is always trying to recruit me for his Friday Financial Foul Ups. I always tell him, “No.” That’s what this blog is for. You don’t have to wait till Friday to hear about how I’ve screwed up.
Last week I had to go downtown to meet a client. I didn’t have [...]

A friend of mine tweeted:

I would love to know the answer to this question too. But I have a problem. I don’t account for my spending down [...]

Tuesday: No Spend Day #2 this week. Not too shabby.
I packed up some sausage bread pudding for lunch and orange bell pepper sticks. It was a pretty heavy lunch despite the veg so all I had for dinner last night was a little snack. (Triscuits and cheese leftover from camping) I am trying to mind [...]

I swear, the reporters who say that camping vacations are people who have never been camping. It’s cheaper than going to Europe, but it’s not really that cheap. Boyfriend and I own a lot of camping gear. We acquired all of it separately before knowing one another. In the course of dating, we’ve started consolidating [...]

I had a successful No Spend Day on Saturday. I had spent the morning at home cooking and doing some light cleaning. I spent the late afternoon at a Pampered Chef presentation at a friend’s place. It was nice to catch up with some friends there, but I didn’t buy anything. Nor was there anything [...]

My motorcycle isn’t running. The carburetor is clogged and so I had to trailer it to my boyfriend’s house and I’ll probably trailer it to our new rental because we’re under severe time constraints. My boyfriend did not have time to fix the engine before we had to move. I’m only trying to get it [...]

Life has been crazy in 2009. But in mostly good ways.
1. My boyfriend asked me to move in.
2. My car was telling me how old she is and I started to consider my options.
3. I got two performance bonuses and a raise on the way.
4. I fixed up and rented out my condo.
5. My pop [...]
