    Default here is a funny story

    So Dh works for a company that gives every emplyee $3 a day towards their lunch at the employee cafeteria. Now it doesnt sound like a lot but $3 will buy a full lunch with drink so they pretty much get a free lnch every day they work. Some of his coworkers complain about what is served and it just kills Dh because its free! Anywho back to my story, Dh got his lunch yesterday and got a salad with a drink and a couple of sides. It wasnt much different than any other day except he chose salad instead of pizza or chicken tenders. When he got to the check out the lady charged him .75 cents over his $3 for what she called an extra side. Now I am thinking no biggie its .75 you know next time, right? Well apparently Dh is more commited to not spending than I thought because he was just appalled by it! I just love seeing him get worked up over money like that. We are totally in the right direction!

    ~It tickles me too when my DH starts ranting about something being too expensive. Wasn't too long ago he was complaining that we never spent any money. ~

    Nah, he just has an excuse now to never get a salad!
    If you could kick in the pants the person responsible for your problems, you wouldn't be able to sit for a month.

    Did you know that a 4 year student paying $20,000/year who finances their education graduates with over $103,000 in debt to start? But a student who works and pays cash and takes 6 years to graduate ends with $6,300 in their pocket! So much for "getting a head start by financing!"
