Savings challenge

March 22nd, 2006 at 06:28 pm

I took books back to the library, and did not pay a late charge. There were 14 books at a dime a day for seven days means if I forgot and had to wait until next week to take them back, I would have to pay $9.80. This means I saved $9.80 today by not forgetting the library books, when I drove past the library.

Come to think of it, I did not get a ticket for going through the stop sign because I came to a complete stop. This saved me another $142.50. Then I drove by McDonald's, and even though I was hungry, I did not stop. This saved me another $5.75. I also went straight home after the library and did not drive all the way to BJs to buy milk. Everyone knows you can't go to BJs without spending >$50 so that comes to $207.05.

Then there is the gas I would have used going past my house to get to BJs, which would have been $2.76 and I would have then had to stop to buy gas, meaning another $8 for that super duper car wash because I would have pressed the Y button by mistake. So all total I saved $217.81 today. Not bad.

    I am so entertained by your rants! Maybe you should put it into the "Virtual Money Jar" like Spendless! Hey, sometimes it is the mental things that keep us going!

    Once my virtual money jar gets full. I am going to go on a virtual vacation. I think I will go to Hawaii, can't be too hard to find some hula music and get a screensaver to show pictures of beaches and girls in grass skirts. Then I can drink a maitai and bask in the glow of my monitor, errr the Hawaiin sun.
