As much as I would love to take you and Ms. Money out for beers if you were ever in Portland I don’t think you’re ever allowed to meet my hubbin. He too has an affinity for hip-hop, and just had to shave his hawk due to work. (Corporate, you know?) That much awesome in a room and the universe may implode. Eh, I’ll risk it. If you guys ever make it out to the Pacific Northwest, look us up. :)

Back when I got tip money I would always put my first tips of the day in a random pocket in my wallet, knowing I’d forget about it. Then when the hubby and I were out someplace and needed cash, I’d start looking through my wallet and always find a 20 or some other random money. We called it the “magic pocket.” I don’t get tips anymore, and I really miss the magic pocket because it most often blessed us with magic beer.

I have a neat little trick for hiding money from myself which is actually really dumb. Sometimes when I use a different purse or handbag I purposely leave a £5 note or some coins in it. I forget about it pretty quickly but the next time I use that bag I’m like “SCORE!!! Free money!!!”

So silly, since it’s obviously mine in the first place but it’s a nice way to make my future self’s day.

Too late for me to have a million by 30… man, graduate school really messes a person’s wealth up.

I’m a big fan of automatic savings. I do wish online saving had better interest rates these days. I’ve been funneling more to my mortgage these days which is a little disturbing because I can’t get it back. There’s a balance between making it difficult to access and making it really difficult. But I don’t want to put all my extra money in stocks, or in something that gains next to no interest.

I’ve been trying to get back into SmartyPig myself, but I just have so many accounts open that it’s becoming crazy to manage! haha… but I do have a $50 “gift card” to them. or maybe I should just give it out on the blog, here?
