My bank account in VA, I kept direct depositing so the car payment would be auto-debited. The car payment is done, I don't see the money, I don't spend it. Or that's the plan, anyway.

Ah. It struck me as odd, but that makes sense.

Day 3 of bringing home lunch.
So far so good.
Not as boring as I thought it would be.
Trying to get myself into a routine...

Visible GC mojo

I should send you my rice cookbook! Now that I am cooking just for me, bringing lunch is much more fun! All the dining choices are mine!

Keep it up GC!

You've inspired me to get back on track too.

Brought my lunch Tues, Wed and today. I keep a bunch of Lean Cuisines in the freezer in my office too - just in case I forget to bring something.

I wonder if saving money can be just as addicting as spending money. I'd love to try that for awhile.

You and me both! I'm trying, so far, staying away from ebay (except for this last week) has been remarkably easy. This has saved me bunches of money!

Yeah, I'm staying away from eBay, Amazon, Best Buy, Target, Circuit City...

1) Forgetting To Pay Bills
2) Bank Fees
3) Tickets [Moving violations and parking]
4) Memberships
5) Subscriptions
6) Letting food spoil in the fridge
7) Wasting Energy
8) Letting your money sit in a checking account
9) Buying DVDs you will never, ever watch, or books you'll never read, or clothes you will never wear...
10) Paying too much for cable
