I like keeping it nice and simple and easier like that too – 1 day a week is a LOT easier goal to shoot for than 2 or 3 or even 5! I see a trend here with your simplicity ;)

Lately I’ve been commuting with a friend to work and that has been saving me money, I try for one day a week (since my car can go 4 days without refueling that gets me to the weekend).

Also I used my stop and shop gas savings at a shell the other night and i saved 40c per gallon! I’ve never done it before and I was intimidated by the process but it turns out it’s not hard and it saved me a lot of money.

Also, I’ve started bringing lunch to work every day to minimize temptation.

@Pam – It’s def. hard to win at least on a consistent basis…. Still trying to figure out “the trick” ;)

Vacations always throw me off budget but I’m working on that.

Love me some vacays. And smart phones for that matter – as long as they make your life EASIER and not harder. The ability to access email 24×7 can be both a splendor and an annoyance, haha…

This does concern me since it impacts my health and stress levels. The money has gone into my travels – I have taken 3 vacations this year to London and Madagascar and different places in South Africa. I am now actively working on getting back on track with my budget and I think I would play the lottery if I was guanteed a win or maybe I will eventually invest in a smart phone because they seem rather smart.

@Liquid – Haha yeah – they’re so much more colorful than ours! Actually, most of the world’s money is. I wonder if people think ours are lame and boring?

I don’t do it to win. I do it for the social aspect. Becoming a part of something bigger than myself. Have something to bring up in dry conversation. Winning any small amount would be a bonus though :D Canadian bank notes look like money from some board game lol.

Wow! I know a few people who swear by lottery tickets. It’s especially not bad when you win the money you use to buy more lottery tickets. It’s not my chosen form of entertainment (partially because it only lasts for a few seconds) but they are fun stocking stuffers.
