Kate you are sooooo funny
I have small luck...I do win a fair bit of small prizes ($65 here $300 there)
I always have....
The most I have won at the casino is 3K three years ago
I won 5k at bingo about 8 years ago
2k last christmas at that 50/50 raffle
I always play small too....the most ive ever lost is $50 (I work too hard to lose more)
I do enjoy games of chance...
The money in the wallet is a neurosis thing...I don't know if you know but for about four years (18-21) I lived in dire poverty...and really I had nobody to help me out during those years....I worked full time with a huge courseload in a professional degree program....I often had ten dollars for the week and all my classmates (90% of them anyway came from upper middle class backgrounds) and would make disparaging comments on my lunches, lack of outing money or even my clothes...they said it was good fun...but I was devastated by their lack of compassion or understanding....Many times during those years I went for a couple of days without eating...
Gosh I didnt want to start a sob story...but in some ways that experience has scarred me...and I swore I would never let a friend in need do without...so I do my best to help others out...
I hope you love your new desk

aw duke! i am glad that your experiences have made you want to do more to help others and not less. it's brilliant.
i carry very little cash on me most of the time. $30 twice a month and when it's gone, it's gone. dh and i will use cash for evenings out and when it's gone, it's gone... i keep a $20 pinned to the inside pocket of the baby's diaper bag just in case. i haven't used it, but i know that it will come in handy someday. i work from my check card which only has access to my monthly checking acct (i have 2 checking accts, one for bill pay and one for monthly expenses. all the money for groceries, gas, cats, baby, and slush gets transferred into the monthly acct 2 times a month and i pretend like the bill pay acct doesn't exist.)
