Lately I’ve stopped being obsessed by my weight and started being obsessed by my savings account. In a way, it’s a relief — I don’t step on the scale five times a day. Instead I check my ING savings and wait with bated breath to see what my interest is at the end of the month. It’s a little scary. I’ve even gone as far as to budget our monthly finances down to the penny. It’s interesting what I found out. Most people spend too much on entertainment. We spend too much on food. So maybe food is our entertainment? It’s a thought.
Regardless, all this scrutiny means I don’t really feel like Christmas shopping this year. But for everyone else, here’s a great article about how to avoid overspending.
