It's Thursday and we all need a discussion going. Come on ladies: How much is your time worth? Do you take the time to save a few bucks? Is it worth it to you? Do you go back to the store when the cashier screws up or the scanner didn't ring up the correct price, only you didn't catch it until you got home? Do you tend to eat out because you 'don't have the the time' to cook? Is that worth it to you? Think about your life and what you tend to spend your time on. Let's hear it ladies.

I try to spend my money wisely and frugally. Time is another matter I spend my time frivously I do what I love. Watching my DD grow and change. I don't mind that I am getting the short end with watching my nephew 4 days a week for $200 a month. I enjoy the time I get to spend with him so the money is just a perk.
No I usually don't talk to the cashier for a little mistake. I try to cook instead of eat out. I don't mind cooking and we Can't afford to eat out.

How I spend my time. I organize a Moms group. I love it even though it pays nothing. I attend my knitting groups and scrapbooking groups I do things that make me happy when I can. I love getting to spend time with my DD I love watching her play with other kids doing my mommy group thing really works out well for me.

Wow, I love this.
I spend 40 hours of my week, here at work, where I LOVE! I work at a laid back place, and often times, i have plenty of time here to get on here a few times a day and put in my two cents on a few topics. I love that. When I have things to do, I get them done in a timely manner, because, frankly, that's my job. I get paid to WORK here so I do my work, and then get on here and fiddle around, when I have nothing work related to keep me busy. That is ok with me.
At home, I spend my time mostly with my DH when I see him, i don't waste THAT time, ever. He works during the day, like me, and attends night classes at our local university. So our time is precious together, especially since we have no kids. We need to take advantage of these times while we still have them.
I spend time playing outside almost daily, with our dogs, who just love us so unconditionally that it's hard to deny them their "play with mommy" time. lol.
I do spend some time cleaning, some time watching tv, some time reading, some time with friends and family, and the only time I waste is by watching tv. But since it's been raining here so much, it's hard to find "time" to get outside and do productive yard work. Oh well. I spend time with a few kids each week, teaching softball lessons, enjoying every minute of that. I spend time working out, and the occasional tan, all of which is "me" time. I do admit that I procrastinate sometimes, but I do try to use my time wisely. I spend one day paying all bills for that particular pay period, as to not waste time doing it a few times each week. I spend time one day a week at the grocery store, but don't spend too much time clipping coupons, although i wish I did.
Anyway, that's how I spend my time.

I spend my time online I spend alot of time making sure my kids are doing homework, getting to and from school, sports and activities and watching them play and do things. I spend some time at work, but definitely not my favorite place! I spend minimal time cleaning. I don't spend too much time cooking, but we do not eat out very often. I just make simple things. I like to sit and watch races on the weekend, which does take quite a bit of time, but it is me time!!!
