@Jennifer Lissette – Yikes, not fun wherever you are with a cranky toddler – sorry for your loss too :( and awesome about your consignment $$! wow that’s good.
@Trinnie – Woah! Now that is TRUE hawk’ness. I look like a faker compared to that ;)
@Investing Newbie – Nice move w/ the train! I’d always go out of my way if it meant saving THAT much money. Unless I had to be somewhere on time ;)
@No Debt MBA – Haha… well then, congrats!
@Jen – Oooooh yeah smoking costs a pretty penny I’m told. Much harder to stop that than to cut back in other areas I’m sure ;) But if you ever did it, you’d be rewarded handsomely! With both $$ and health.
@Jennifer – YAYY!! CONGRATS!!! Really really exciting time in your life right now – suck it all in, baby!!! :) (and hilarious about Stephan, haha… he probably is!)
@Kristin – Yeah, eating out used to get me too every day. But I just budgeted it in since I wanted to keep it up and allow it to be the one area I splurge in life. You can’t force yourself to change if you truly don’t want to ;)
@Kelsey – Ice Spiders? hahahaha… do I really want to Google that?
@Kathy – Good call on the credit-back try!! Sometimes it’s hard for me to ask too, but 9 times out of 10 if you’re real nice & cool about it, esp if it’s the first in forever, they’re pretty good about waiving. ALways worth a shot for sure – nice reminder :)
@David – Haha… I’ve never watched any of their shows fully yet, but I can imagine using the same stories over and over. When you find something that resonates you usually run with it. Which is why it sucks watching your fave comedians/speakers more than once or twice cuz it’s usually same stuff all the time. Congrats on the raise asking btw!! I assume you got it since it was a good money move ;)
@LB – Haha, damn right on that one!
@Jenna, Adaptu Community Manager – Urkel-Os!!! Ahahahhaha… soooo funny.
@Sarah – I know, I’ve been sad all weekend thinking of your situation :( Need to call you soon too, but Nate and I are playing tag-team with ya ;) I really REALLY really hope we can find you a (paying) position w/ Love Drop. It would be an honor to have you on our team and help families together. Although you already ARE on it! haha… but you get what I’m saying :) Talk really soon, my dear DB.
@rainbowfish – Ewwww yeah those $5 cards are nasty. I slip and buy them every now and then, but only cuz they’re so damn convenient sometimes ;) Esp if those are the only ones at a store the night before the big day! Big ups for sending money along to help Tuscaloosa – they need more people like you.
@Debbie Beardsley – But man, isn’t Starbucks such a treat?? :)
@Meredith – Hahaha… totally going to find his fan page now :) Rock on, yo.
@South County Girl – Thanks for blogging about it!! I used to work for a timeshare – and hated every day of it! I’ll admit for *some* people it’s worth it, but for 95% of the others it’s not. So good luck, the odds are on your side w/ backing out ;)
@Erin – You too, awesome! Going over now to check out ;) Crap, can’t leave a comment as I don’t use any of those services :( Might be worth adding the “name/url” feature on? But here’s my comment if you wanna see :)

“haha thx for playing along my friend! (and for the kind words – you trying to make a brother blush??) I’ve gone on and off w/ newspapers but I’m currently off. I wanted to get coupon section too but never used once!! haha… after all that extreme couponing hub bub tho, I may give it a shot for a few weeks and see what happens. Just don’t feel like dealing w/ all those phone calls they hit you up with once you cancel! soooooo annoying.”

2.Getting some overtime on my paycheck from working that lifeguard class!

3.If I counted all the money I can save, probably 3-4 months….?????

4.I have no clue what-so-ever… but hopefully he won’t be one of those celebrities who ruins his life.

5.I say Dave Ramsey. For the every day person, he’s got a plan that people can follow, and I’m game.

2. What was your best?
Actually, the smartest thing actually involved spending money – I bought a new pair of running shoes. It’s easy to put it off because it’s expensive – but, new shoes means less pain, less injury and probably less doctor visits for hurty knees down the line (THUS: SAVING MONEY).

3. How long would it take you to save an *extra* $1,000?
Hmmm. This is a bad week to ask that. It could take awhile. :)

4. What ever happened to Steve Urkel?
I think he’s still acting, to give a totally boring non-joke answer. Seems like I just saw his name in a movie review and I was like, “holy shit, I’m old enough that Steve Urkel is playing a parent in a movie.”

5. Who is sexier: Suze Orman or Dave Ramsey?
Suze. It’s the hair. :P
