Ignoring the fact that spending less of this kind of frivolous endeavor is offset by the increase in fuel prices, this little observation is what Marriot School professors call "million dollar decisions(tm)." Essentially every dollar you spend has used up almost 1.5 dollars of your wage. Thus 80/mo eating out is actually more like 120 dollars a month, due to taxes. So finding areas in your life where you can trim the fat, and supposing you can save the money rather than spending it on gas, you can put this before tax money into a retirement savings plan and add a million dollars to you final balance. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
