Congrats,

I am a compulsive "fritterer", which translates as, that I feel the constant need to shop online, for bargains, and will buy items that are "on sale", "Free Shipping", that I then feel "good" about having found, and will tell myself, doesn't matter much, because they were a "real bargain".

Well, when I finally began to write all my numbers down, I was shocked by how much I was spending for all these "little, insignificant" things. It often came to around $400 a month!!!

I got a Pet Care Business going, that often only brings in about $10 a day, unless someone goes on a trip, when I can make an extra $15 a day for a while.
But, it earns an average of about $200 to $300 a month.

I came to realize, by that small amount adding up to so much a month, that the "reverse" is also true. Those little amounts spent, also really add up.

So, if I can, *not* spend that $400 a month, and then earn $200 with the Pet Biz', our income will have "gone up", by $600 a month, enough to pay both of our credit card bills for one month.

Well, my daughter is up for her first day of school and pestering me to get her breadfast, so gotts' go.

Congrats, and Good Luck to both of us,
Linda
