Cheaper by the dozing

Hello all you who roll by being inexpensive

I would love to be considered a cheapskate. Because a cheapskate is actually successful in being cheap. When you are called cheap other names then you are not really cheap, but just a jerk.

I am in cheap in some things, but then I will waste money. I have a hard time in spending money, but then I love to go out to eat. Wendy and I looked at our statements and we saw we ate out a lot one week. The amazing thing is that it does not seem too much at the time, but when you look back. Wow, it adds up.

I do try and buy generics. I don't have enough of a discriminating taste so I can eat pretty much anything. Wendy and I are at the moment on a money saving spree. I hope that it lasts awhile.

We went to Taco Bell for our anniversary. It was surprisingly good. The last time I was not really satisfied. This time I had a pretty good burrito. The good thing was it was cheap. It as a nice sized burrito for the small amount of money it cost. I wonder if it was a new item, so they had it on sale.

I know some people say the best way to handle finance is to pay cash. I am not that good yet. I have a hard time getting out cash. I feel if I get cash out then I will not have enough in the bank. I think if I wrote down what I spend I would be more careful in my spending.

The important part of money is setting aside some each month. I have tried to do that in the past. I hope I can continue in the future.

Hopefully you will see my face if not on the dollar, then behind it.
