Katie and I have decided to do Michelle Singletary's 21 day financial fast. The details are laid out here, but basically, for 21 days you only spend money on necessities. the criteria for determining what items are necessary might be a bit foggy (actually I think I need a Big Mac right now) but deep down we know what we can and can't live without.
I don't spend incredibly frivolously, but I tend to drop loot on fast food, booze, restaurants and bars and that adds up quickly. I've also gotten a little, um doughy in the past years, and I attribute that directly to eating out lots (well and just eating lots), so for these reasons I've decided to do this. Hopefully this will give me a bump in the right direction and help me hone some good habits. Today is Day 1. Here we go...

Good for you Dave and Katie! I am actually a big fan of Michelle's and have thought about doing this myself.
you should do it, laura. it's going well, and i was pretty pumped to start out.
i dunno dave, i heard some rumors about a questionable movie ticket arrangement.
it's not questionable. i was going to treat fernie, but now he's treating me. perfectly legitimate.
