At the cash register

Can the type of payment help you safe money?

Trap:
Credit card-swipe and pay later.
#1-you overspend because you worry about it later. thinking you will just return it. (reality: it ends up being too much effort)
#2-the money accumulates and end of the month, what?!??! $7689!

Best to use:
Cash-pay now.
Why it's the best? The fact that you reach for the bills and count them one by one will make you realize mentally how much you're giving out for the purchase. Oops, $20 gone. another $20 gone. $10 gone. two $5 gone. How many bills are left?

Try one month of just using cash.
Try one month of just using credit card.

Compare and you be the judge.

latest i've ever stayed up



Woo! Done w/ graduation!
Bugaboo creek steakhouse for 5 pm dinner. (super yummy!)
Chilled w/ friends-rented 30 days of Night
Horrible suggestion from the worker at the rental. Not a horror at all. Changed my whole view of beautiful twilight vampires cuz vampires in there were ugly and horrible. I would rather think of everything in a more beautiful way. 
Haven't played cards in forever! finally done w/ everything. time to chill. 
-big 2 (its an asian game. too lazy to explain)
-spoon (substituted pencils for spoons, so technically we played pencils)
-James Bond (match each piles into the same number by trading w/ middle of pile)
-drug lord (cards in middle, every1 gets one. Jacks and Queens=regular ppl. King=cop. Ace=drug lord. Ppl stare at each other and Ace person secretly winks at one other person. King tries to find out who drug lord is. its so fun! ha) i might do a vid on it ha
-BS (we all know this game)

(5 am now)
Another movie time! Couples Retreat. like 10 min into the movie.
...the 3 other friends all like falling asleep. 20 min into it (before they go on the island), I turn around and they're asleep. I got woken up (woken up? is that correct spelling) by a Tim*'s snore/cough, then I woke up Paula*. 
Until 7:42 am ish, I felt pretty awake (singing to airplanes and lady gaga on the radio) but i actually fell asleep and woke up at 3 pm. ay yeay ay am I too old to pull an all nighter already?
