I don't officially start till Monday. This was because my whole kitchen is empty of food since we had to take time away to have the house bug bombed.

At a Mexican restaurant, the cashier asked me for my id because my card has "Please See my ID" written on the back instead of my signature. I don’t like the idea of my signature being around for other's to try to replicate it. Anyways, the cashier was surprised and told me he thought it was a great idea. He recently lost all of his money in his account when he went to Mexico for a couple of weeks. When he came back to the US, his account was wiped out.

This got me thinking about the challenge. Okay this is an extreme example... but what if something was to happen to me and I had to go a week without the ability to spend anything. I am thinking more of losing an ATM card rather than the money in my account. (Actually losing my ATM card has happened before)I would not be prepared at home and probably resort to a credit card. Seems like key thing to do is to be prepared rather than rely on credit cards and learn to make do with what you got at home. Homework for me is now to plan a strategy to keep my home supply balanced. I have to admit seems not easy to do when you’re single unless that is just me!
