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. JOAT I wonder if other dogs think poodles are members of a weird religious cult. - Rita Rudner |

OT - Get Past "Frugal Burnout" (article)
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. -- Young Carpenter "Violin playing and Woodworking are similar, it takes plenty of money, plenty of practice, and you usually make way more noise than intended" {Put the fiddler back "on" the roof to reply} -- "J T" wrote in message ... http://moneycentral.msn.com/content/...79.asp?Printer I know some of you all have to watch your pennies at times.
