My car is 15 years old - I absolutely hate to put any money into it but I know I need to buck up and replace the wipers and a couple other bothersome things that could make it worse down the road. It's safe - did enough for the sticker and all but I can think of other things to put money in other than a vehicle. I don't part easily with money because its not easy to come by. :-) Hey, Bad Penney ~ when I was a kid, I loved Cheez Whiz on Ritz. Oh, man – I walk that same fine line.

I wandered over from "The Simple Dollar" - I was curious about this article you mentioned. :) I think it's a really good point - it so easy to put necessary things off just "one more month" not realizing we could be costing ourselves more in the long run! Last night I was talking to a friend who used to be a cheese-maker. He told me that they would make really good low-fat cheese, and companies like Velveeta and Kraft would come in and buy large quantities, melt it down, add fats and salt water, along with flavoring and colorings, and repackage it as their processed cheeses (Cheez-Whiz, anyone?) I remember eating Cheez-Whiz as a child because it was cheap. Ish! Definitely not a frugal skill! Hey! I wandered over from “The Simple Dollar” – I was curious about this article you mentioned. :)
