    Re: What's Your Financial Weakness?

    Mine is definately eating out. We go out usually 6 nights a week, sometimes 5. We do order cheap meals and brown bag our drinks, so our meals are usually under $20, but that is still a lot of money every week.

        And how could I forget travel! We love to travel. The only reason we don't do it more is because work gets in the way. If I could retire tomorrow, we'd be on the road a whole lot more.

          Computer Gadgets are my weakness. Technology stuff. A Treo phone is my latest money taker as is dining out. I say its the curse of being a single woman.

            My latest buying binge has been connected to survival gear. My latest purchase was a set of cast iron camp dutch ovens for cooking.

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

                    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!

                            I could use a practical daily driver like that.
