What's Your Financial Weakness?

Travel. It's telling that the only exception I would make to Challenge rules is Travel.

Expensive creams. I just got married and I need to look the best!!!

[Ima saver]

I have used ponds cold cream since I was 15!

[shengmei]

Ponds is actually pretty decent. I buy expensive creams 75% off so they are about the same price of Ponds. I just buy more varieties of them.

I have perfect skin, though....I think it is worth it to buy more expensive stuff.

This is my financial weakness: I have spent tons of money trying to make this a competitive autocross car. The little black car behind it is my practical daily driver.

HINT: If you want to get the most from your pure maple syrup - try cutting it with karo syrup to make it go farther! You can almost double the pure syrup with it and not lose any of the good flavor.

My biggest financial weakness - GARAGE SALES!

I need to get one of those silly bumper stickers "Warning - I brake for garage sales' because I'm a nut about them. For me, it's kind of an excuse to get out of the house and go adventuring. Sometimes I take the kids if they want to go. They can buy up to $2 worth of stuff or use their own money from chores. That $2 can go quite a bit farther at yard sales then anywhere else and they know it!

My weekness is cars too, but I don't have any pictures!!

[Diolla]

Mine is traveling, all over the US. I get antsy and need to take to the road!

[Ima saver]

I told my husband that he works to suport all his cars, not me!!

[shengmei]

My weakness used to be garage sales but my hubby and my BIL together owned a SUV, so nowadays the gas prices are prohibitive.

[Ima saver]

shiny new sports cars!!

If you don't have any pictures, just tell me what kind of cars and I'll find the pictures.

This is one of my dad's cars. I blame him for turning me into a car nut.

Why is that beautiful '57 Nomad out in the snow?

[Broken Arrow]

Like any other typical male, I like cars too. I always oogle them, but I'm not a car nut enough to buy one...

except maybe a Miata someday.

No Nomads were harmed in the making of this painting:

My father let it get snowed on, so that George Rothacker could make that painting. But don't worry, he had the tailgate straightened last summer, so that it won't leak, and it was tucked back in the garage after George got the pictures that he would use to make the painting.

I spent way too much on phone bills

[kristina682]

My financial weakness is my face cleaner, I used to use really cheap stuff, really whatever was on sale, but after a friend introduced me to MK I now spend my money on that.. Its more expensive but I have noticed a difference, since it was more I became a consultant to fray some costs

I would say books. I just bought "The Nightstalker" A true crime about Richard Rimeraz. Pretty creepy business!!

I go to bed, but I read with the light on for 2 hours every night. It's just something I never skip. So I have to have a good book on hand. My little library will grow I'm hoping.

Diet soda, good coffee. I try to limit and/or ignore impulse buys these days.
