		 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.

		 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!

	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!

		 The Consumerist posted today their list of the Top 10 Ways Smart People Waste Money. Several things have been mentioned (and I disagree with some) here but thought it would be apropos. The link has more info on each item. 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
	
	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  |
