We do this, but rarely pay in Cash so it doesn’t build that quickly. Our “Swear Jar” holds about $75 in it, and we typically hold it until we go on vacation and cash it in then. Surprising how quickly change can add up.

Haha. It really does. I know if I switched to light domestic beers it would help as well, but what is the point at that point... You dont drink light beer for the taste.

Yup. I used to swim an hour in the morning before school, eat breakfast, 2 lunches, and still be hungry after 2 hour practice for dinner (with seconds of course). Now, if someone brings bagels into the office, I have to weigh the options between having a bagel now, or a half a cookie within the next week. (or say…

I never really drank light beer in volumes, and was always one to go for the heavier/harder stuff. I definitely feel it more after 1-2 than I used too. Made the bachelor party i went to last weekend a lot more interesting... Love the mix-a-six shelf at the grocery store. Wish they had a better turnover rate of unique…

Yeah. It definitely makes a difference. I will break the rule for special occasions, but it really does add up if you think about it.

I will probably never have the 8 pack back that I had in my younger days (swimmer, 3 hours a day 6 days a week), mainly because I have a desk job and dont have the time to put into it. I am not large, but when I was commuting heavily a few years back, traveling out of state for work weekly, I was eating poorly,…

This. I continually get calls on my cell phone from companies about final expiration notices. They call and talk to you. If you say anything other than I am interested (i.e. Take me off your list, manager, God: is that you? it’s me, Margaret,etc.) they immediately disconnect the call.

They will release the legendaries as corporate exclusives.

I can bank up to a month (168 hours) of vacation at my company. If you go over hours, they cut you a check once a year to bring you back down to the max (if you dont use it, they pay you). I have trouble taking that much vacation every year, as I have been here close to 10 years and I accrue that much every year. Nice…

Wait, so the new movie ghostbuster toys are of the 4 female ghostbusters, and not just Slimer, Thor, and the originals?

Yeah... I live in a rural area adjacent to a suburb of a larger suburb of a small-ish city. My mortgage for 2,300 finished SF (including basement) is <~$1,300. While there isnt as much to do around me as there would be in a major city, It is insane to see home much my old college roommates pay for rent. They get paid…

Good tip. We try and keep these special occasions in mind, however we do break down every once in a while and splurge. We do this on vacations (I dont want to spend all the money to get somewhere, then skimp on the activities), but we budget for that in the trip. Locally, I try to eat packed lunches every day I am in…

I bought this a while back and it has already justified itself. My S5 is getting old and I use it heavily for work. This pack is amazingly light and compact; however the feature I like most is the fact that you have 1 cable. It uses the same USB cable to charge my phone, flipped in reverse to charge the pack. My old…

I was going to say the same thing. Between this and Super C, color me intrigued.

Great tips. I tend to be extremely focused for about 4-6 months, then snap and spend more than I want on random things before reigning it back in. Amazon Prime day was a rough one this year, as several items that were on my wish list for future purchases all went on sale. Got a few items, and took care of some gifts,…

Unfortunately yes... Dropped about $200, but only about half of the stuff was on sale. Needed to get it so I ordered it all together.

Or do what I do and suck it up and be an adult. At work at ~730AM, work through 5-7ish at night. Go home, eat, play video games until 3AM and do it again the next day... You know... Like adults do...

Soo I dont have 1 complete set, however I am fairly pleased with the pasta pot, Calphalon Pan, and sauce pot that I am using. While having 3-4 different brand pots might not be ideal, are these pans that much better that I should switch? My Calphalon is starting to show it’s age and will need replaced soon. Just spent…

Unfortunately the Michigan police do not have juris-dick-sion over events that occurred out of state. Case will be dismissed, so he can resume field goal kicking coach duties for the Spartans:

Holding out hope for a f2p ps4 release. I was interested, but the player base dropped off quickly and I wasn’t able to try it at beta. This would be great for a ps+ release if cross play works and the base is reinvigorated.
