It may not be the most pleasant experience; but “donating” plasma is a low-effort, low-commitment way to acquire some extra cash for the piggy bank.

Well, my #1 tip/initiative is to quit paying for heating or cooling. By the end of the year, I will be giving up heating oil to go geothermal. Phase next is to run my geothermal system via solar and wind power. ROI - depending upon the price of fuel oil and electricity, several years. Then let freedom reign.

No, actually, I really love her. I can’t fault her for making a buck by doling out common sense money management. Someone has to speak truth to consumerism. I just wish I could have done it first!

Also, I just wanted an excuse to play that Kristin Wiig impression because it’s so hilarious.

@Frank I’m totally doing it wrong because I charge my Starbucks on a daily basis. Crap. If I had to pay cash, I wouldn’t drink it.

@Darren A-freakin-men. You have my vote.

@Stony If we didn’t satisfy our dopamine cravings, what would we do with ourselves????

well, besides from the rather obvious one: Spend less than you earn.
No use of creditcards - use cash instead. Then you realise what 50 bucks are.
You want something - take it from the shelf, hold it in your hand. Then put it back. Think following sentence “What would I gain from buying it - besides satisfy a Dopamine Craving?” - if your answer is “I gain more - i.e. wont go hungry to bed, will not loose my hoouse, car, pet.” Then you are safe - go buy it then.
