Default OT - Get Past "Frugal Burnout" (article)

http://moneycentral.msn.com/content/...79.asp?Printer

I know some of you all have to watch your pennies at times. I'm
pretty well past that stage, I'm up to only having to watch nickels at
times. I do it a bit different than most of what they say, but I sure
could have used some of these tips a few years ago.

One way I do is to take pennies along with me, then when a bill
comes to some odd cents, I use 1 penny or two, so I don't get pennies in
my change. When I get back home, I drop my change in coin counting
tubes. I usually take some pennies, and nickels with me every time I
leave the house. But the quarters especially, I put in coin rolls, then
when I have something special I want, it's like found money. Sometimes
I get maybe $50 or $60 at a time to spend that way, and it is no problem
at all saving that way.
All this isn't meant for the people who actually have plenty of
money, but are just too cheap to part with it.

I keep meticulous record of my financial doin's and am always running a
deficit of what is in my pocket and what the records say I have. Raided the
top of my dresser while unemployed so I could buy papers for their
classified adds. Very handy.
