Just DO IT!!
"THEY" say you can save a lot of money if you just fold it over and put it back in your pocket.
Not me man! I find money in my pocket and I'm gonna spend those suckers.
So to just get the month off to a pleasing start I just took a 10 spot and 40 cents out of my grocery money and put it right on over towards the $20 challenge.
What's challenging about that you ask? As well you should. The Challenge FOR ME is to leave it there all month!
We shall see - my pretties. Perhaps I'm a reformed spender and can really be a member of Keeper's Anonymous. This is a test. I repeat THIS IS A TEST. Only my pride will be hurt if I fail.
Any passing grade I get will go straight to paying off the mortgage!
Stay Tuned. Grade will be posted on 09/30.
What? I'm the teacher's pet? You bet your sweet patooty I am! Isn't she loverly?? I mean, aren't I loverly? Yeah well...Toots keep your stinking paws out of Piggy I don't care how cute yo'Momma thinks you are!! (who would dare to deflower Piggy?

Oddly, once I remove money from my spending stream, I somehow manage to get along on what's left. And the no-spending Challenges demonstrated I do have the ability to trim my day-do-day outgo beyond anything I would have imagined.
Good luck keeping Piggy inviolate.
