Default Having Sex to Save Money

The worldwide financial crisis has everyone looking for free activities where they can save money.

According to the BBC News, a new UK survey says many Britons are choosing to have sex as a way to pass the time and save money.

The survey conducted by YouGov asked 2,000 adults what was their most popular free activity, and more than one third chose sex. Gossiping with friends came in a distant second, followed by window shopping and going to a museum...

Well, perhaps it's cheaper in the short term, but nine months from now, I suspect some may feel otherwise.

Still, I can't say that I disapprove of the idea....

It is not economical to go to bed early to save candles if the result is twins.

The higher your bracket, the more you save.

To a certain point anyway.

It might not be money economical, but time wise we go through everything else at same time, so twins are time management savings.

Both have doctors appt on same day/time
get same shots on same day
have same birthday (only 1 day to remember)
will play on same sports team (saves gas money for driving to only 1 practice, not two)
and the list goes on.
