This is not a mystery unless you make it one. Track your money. Everything. Use mint or something else, then you can see whats happening. You'll get your why, where and how. But it takes some legwork and some patience. Don't worry about matching what other people do, the only thing this article has shown me is…

I like this tip a lot. Its a good idea, and I'm going to give it a shot. I maintain a long list of to dos on todoist, but was thinking I should write them down to paper periodically to review.

Surely there has a gotta be a way to maintain functionality without losing the keypad. I agree, how is this a hack?

I think the biggest carpet problem most people have with really dirty carpets is that it is the cheap grade contractor stuff that's been around for a few years. Better carpets will resist stains. The only solution I've seen…
