Enjoying the game

February 20th, 2006 at 07:13 pm

Feel like a contestant in a game show. Spend less, save more!!! I'll bet it would never be a prime time success.........no one would believe it!!
I'm continuing to add the tiny little hints, as well as implement some of the bigger changes as well..........everything from not using my blow dryer in the mornings to sending in the paperwork for my Roth IRA.
I have been thinking about a comment I read about budgets being all about sacrifices & I'm not feeling like that is relevant here at all. I haven't felt a bit deprived; in fact........it feels better to me than not paying close attention to my money. Back to the game idea I guess........I'm just a sucker for competition, solo, or with others.
A no spend day, other than some gas to go get a freecycle item. Dinners in the crock pot, a roast which will provide the basis for many meals this week. Washer running on cold, wood stove is heating the house and I can spend much of the day knitting. Just found out this AM that the baby coming this July in our family is a boy.....Too much fun!!

    I am enjoying the "game" too and I don't feel deprived a bit. I mean, we aren't going to bed hungry and it is fun to find ways to save.

    That is really the key...figuring out what works for you and how yu can enjoy it. It kills me when I hear all the PF gurus say that people "must sacrifice" - there are so many ways to save without giving up the things you really like to do. One of my crusades... Wink
