It’s only to make sure I don’t go overboard in spending on it :) Unlike some other hobbies out there, you can literally drop hundreds of thousands (or even millions!) on one coin and having the limits of what I can spend helps me make sure to use it better. Not that I’d ever spend hundreds of Gs on a coin – but it def. keeps me in check :) I don’t have rules for any of my other hobbies, other than just making sure i have the $$$ first and not going into debt for them.

GREAT point re: kids!!

Now if only you can have all their friends’ dads do the same :(

Haha… you TOTALLY need to do an experiment with disappearing and then blogging out the results :) I would not be surprised if that went viral!

Haha – that’s a good one too.

Oh, agreed 100%! It’s just my way to make sure I *limit* myself from overspending, really :) I have/had plenty of hobbies that cost money and no desire to make an income off of. Though I do like the ideas of matching up side hustles with money to splurge on stuff (want to spend $500 on a new golf club? Let me go write some freelance articles first, haha…).

Let me know how it’s working??!

it is crazy. and it’s only going to get worse with all new technology coming out unless we do something about it :(

Very smart on both :)

Brilliant!! My afternoon rule is “water only” which helps even out and better hydrate for sure :) Not unlike guzzling it down after a long night of partying, haha… I’d use to trick myself by pouring a large glass and putting next to my bed *before* I’d go out to make sure I’d see it and then remember to drink when I came home :)

I read that one! Really enjoyed it :)
