Aggressive Saving

With the whole issue in the US money has been on my mind I need to stop thinking like a child in this area of my life. I love games, movies, books, and music but I can’t go spending my hard earned dosh on everything shiny that crosses my field of vision. To be completely honest at this point in time it’s more like a philosophy than a complete plan but I think it’s a good one.

This realisation came more by force than by choice thanks to a recent payment issue with my current employer that’s dragged on for the last few months. The whole situation made me audit my spending and divide things between need and want as a result I’ve changed my phone and internet plan and now buy the “no name” equivalent when grocery shopping. I’ve also become quite the leach going wherever the free food is, married couples with kids are the best for this kind of leaching tho I try not to abuse the good will of my friends… please keep feeding me!
