no drainage here
Bankrate says these are the top ten money drains… and you know what? I feel pretty good about that:
coffee (I don’t drink it.)
cigarettes (I don’t smoke.)
alcohol (I don’t drink, either.)
bottled water (I use the water cooler at work and the tap at home.)
manicures (I do my own.)
car washes (Maybe once every few months.)
weekday lunches out (Maybe once every couple of weeks - at the dollar menu, of course.)
vending machine snacks (Maybe twice in a year, I’ll get a candy bar from a vending machine.)
credit card interest charges (I pay in full during the grace period. I have a line of credit balance that accrues interest for old credit card debt, but that should be history after a few months’ time when it’s paid off. In the meantime, I’m covering several times the minimum each month with my ample payments.)
unused memberships (Oh I’m GOING to the gym, even if I don’t feel like it, if for no reason other than to get my money’s worth. Plus, I pay about 10-15 less than your average gym aficionado per month.)
My money’s not draining on unnecessary stuff. I feel good about that.
