Wow, this was a real eye opener. This is about the amount of money I spend when I go to town and don't plan to spend anything... ugh...

Wow, that is a great article. My husband and I have a goal to have 10k in our savings and 10k in our checking. We are about 7k away from doing that and I told him we can do it. He doesn't believe me. I am motivated now! No eating out and buying stupid junk!
