Because Some Things Are More Important Than Money
Last night I got all snarky with The Daughter. She’d committed the grievous sin of losing two grocery receipts for shopping she’d done at my request and for which she needed reimbursement.

Investment or Indulgence? The Shaving Kit Saga
Earlier this month, as reported in my Daily $$ entry, I spent a rather large chunk of change on some shaving equipment for The Son. A week later, I spent another large amount of money on shaving product. I imagine that some people will have trouble understanding how I could spend so much money on [...]
Day 146: A No-Spend Day — or Was It?
Ah. An honest-to-goodness no-spend day. In other words, this wasn’t a delayed-spending no-spend day. I had no pressing errands and no impending expenses that were simply put off for another day.

As I heard myself say this, it occurred to me how much [...]
