Yay for Fridays! Its a bit bittersweet since kids will be going back to school on Monday. I LOVE having them home and miss them when they are at school. Luckily, I have plenty to keep me busy. My new obsession is Listia. As a loyal Ebayer, I was hesitant to even take a look. I would describe it as a cross between Freecycle and Ebay. No fuss with money (if you do free shipping) and a laid back trading atmosphere. So far I love it! Of course, I'm still listing on Ebay to make extra moola. And I need to make lots of it to help Mr. Man pay down our debt.
Soooo...I haven't really mentioned how its going with the money jars. Its pretty much at a standstill. We have been withdrawing anything we don't need for the week out of the account and putting it in a second account Mr. Man has had for a while. He really never used it and figured it was out of sight...out of mind. I have to say its working. We are cooking soooo much more and trying to find free things to do to entertain ourselves. I do have the jars above my desk and they are a reminder of what our priorites are. I'm a little sad it didn't work for us but I think the concept has done wonders for how we look at our monthly expenses.
