Ok, so I am going to try a little experiment, and you are all invited to join me: It is called: Spend nothing work week(tm).
The objective: To go Monday-Friday without spending anything. Why? This is not a political tirade against consumerism. I just feel like I burn through money and I would like to check my spending impulses.
The rules: 1)Buy a week's worth of bus tickets/tokens on Sunday night. 2) Spend $40 dollars on groceries ($60 per couple) 3) Bring lunches. Do not take cabs. Do not get your muckaluckachino at S*arB*cks. 4) If there must be an exception, note it in advance (I always buy the student I tutor a pop on Thursdays)
