Save Money by Not Spending It
Posted by IT Pilgrim on June 30, 2008
Funny how easy saving money is on paper, and how difficulty it is in practice. I ran across an article this morning on the Motley Fool site, which is mainly an investing site but is also great entertainment. Their authors all seem to have a talent for presenting financial material in a humorous and engaging manner.
Well, anyway, the article is about how to spend less money. You always see tips for spending less money, and rather than beating an already deceased animal, the answer seems to be simple and universal. Just don’t spend it.
One easy way to do this…go somewhere where you cant spend it. Spend a weekend at a farm, or camping. Go somewhere where all shopping is far way, inconvenient and the internet is not available. Live out in the country, not the suburbs, way out there. You know the kind of place, the one where when you name the town, everyone looks at you funny ’cause they have no idea where it is. Give it a try for a week or just a weekend, give your wallet a holiday this Fourth of July.
