networkn:macuser: I've stopped spending every dollar I have on gadgets, above and beyond a good but well priced laptop, phone and camera. I found that although I would tell myself its a good investment to feel good about buying it, it would remain flat for days in my bag (iPad, second laptop, second phone). I've found that since I've stopped buying gadgets all the time, my money lasts farrrrr longer
I've found that having more money in my bank account is a nice feeling, and being able to participate in activities is probably more rewarding than having two devices that can do the same job.
I shop frugally as I can, and tend to only go out to dinner if it's a grabone deal or an Asian BYO place. I tend to stay away from eateries are run by white people, a) because it's usually super ecpensive, and b)I could cook it at home
I'd really like to see you prepare food that compares to Sidart (though he is Asian), French Cafe, Clooney, or Merediths.
I have no issue with the idea that great food is sometimes expensive because its done so well, but I prefer the challenge of finding great food that's been made cheaply!
I'm more taking a dig at $17 eggs bene from any cafe
