I literally blew stuff out of my nose laughing at this.

I don't like over spending on things like food, utilities, insurance, cars, gas, internet, clothing, general maintenance stuff, hotels, etc..so I do everything I can to save money on those, thus the "frugal" aspect. On the flipside, travel, wine, beer, entertainment, music, art, other hobbies, etc....I have no problem spending money on. I still try to do it as frugally as possible, but I'm more willing to spend more on that. Just how I want to divide up the pie.

Sounds like you've got it all categorized....can you send me that spreadsheet. Or more in keeping with the spirit of this board, "I'm gonna need to see the police report".

i love how this is just about random stuff now XD

isn't it always

I know you are but what am I?

Many years back when they upgraded the EyeTV DVB viewing solution to program version 3, Apple Store looted out the previously ~$100 costing tuner+software packages bundled with EyeTV 2 for $50 and on their Store for Education for $20.

I bought two for $20 a piece in early January, and then contacted the EyeTV folks to have the software and licence keys upgraded to version 3 as per their upgrade policy that gave you a free upgrade to 3 if you had bought the product after December 1st.

Other than that I have seldom succeeded.

I do have a spreadsheet. A number of years ago, my wife and I wanted to buy some land and couldn't pay in cash and couldn't afford the monthly payments without impacting something else (saving for retirement, college, live the lifestyle we had, etc...). We really wanted the land though so for a 3 month period, we tracked ever cent we spent and put it into categories (Gas, Automotive, Travel, Sports, Entertainment, Utilities, taxes, mortgage, home expenses, Medical, clothing, etc....). Most of it was easy as it was either the same re-occurring payments (Mortgage, taxes, insurance, etc...), monthly bills that were autodraft (utilities, etc..) or we used a credit card so could just dump it all into a spreadsheet. We tried to use little cash so it would be easy to track, but that was the hardest part to track and the only part we had to be really diligent on keeping track of. We'd always kept track and had a "loose" budget, but not to this level of detail and it was eye opening where the money went and where the savings / cutting back opportunities were.

That's when we really focused on lowering are spends in areas that weren't priorities for us. Even after paying off the land, we stuck with it. I'm guessing a lot of people do / have done that though.

My dad, who is an idiot, stood outside of Target last year warning people that dudes were standing by ready to rape their daughters in the women's bathroom.

Oh, and I bought a car today. Not at Target, at a car dealership.

It's kind of gangster. Well, gangster for a Toyota Corolla anyway.

back story: I wanted a stick shift BMW wagon. But I'm married, so I got this. But at least it's so gloriously orange, with the spoiler and the ginormous wheels and body kit, that she'll probably be too embarrassed to ever drive it and treat it like a trash can.

I'm thinking that he's just posting like this for fun/as a joke, because if not,

His posts have actually improved since we called him out, so the applies.

He's like, "Kevin , if a big snake gives birth to a little snake. . .
. . .what is that little snake gonna grow up to be?" "A big snake?"

He's like, "Right.
That snake gives birth to a snake. What's that gonna grow to be?"

And I said , "Big snake."
He said , "Exactly, you gotta know who your father is."
