Ah...settling down for a 5 day weekend. Nice.
Put 47$ in the bank from my tip box. That felt nice, too.
I put the two big checks of last week in my ING account for the moment. It's going to earn far more and be tied up far less than it would in my regular bank.
This last Sunday I really window shopped with a very different eye. Everything I looked at I could afford, which makes things a lot more difficult. The siren sings louder when you know you have a lot more unearned money in your accounts. I can see how people blow windfalls so quickly. It is easy to say, "just what I always wanted. I'll take it!" the first time and then over and over. After the sixth over, its gone. Generic advice about budgeting 10% for your treats then stopping when you're done makes a lot of sense to me. I also have to say, "I already have that and I'm happy with it."
