It's tough to pin me down on spending patterns. If there is something I want, I buy it. Camera gear is one example.
I can be really cheap in other ways. I still have a tube tv. My car is seven years old. I have chest pains when I have to turn on the air conditioning. I keep the heat down in the winter. I have a drawer filled with mini mart/fast food napkins and ketchup packets.
Today's entry deals with envelopes. I pay the vast majority of my bills on-line. The bills still come with an envelope in case I choose to pay the traditional way. I simply have the hardest time throwing away those return envelopes. I have a huge stack, held together with an enormous binder clip. I just can't part with them.
So, what are they good for? I do use them to jot notes, and that's about it.
I'm just going to have to bite the bullet one of these days and toss the stack.
