Okay, so Jim calls it ‘Impulse Saving’, but the geeks know what it REALLY is.
Get a yourself a six-sided die (or more sides if you prefer) and roll it. Take that number, multiple it by ten, and put it in a savings account or pay down a debt. Do it every single time you get a paycheck and learn to live without the money in your budget.
Damn right. Saving Roll vs. Finances, baby! And who has more dice than a geek?
Hee hee…. if only more people did this. My strategy, developed in graduate school, was to simply believe I didn’t have much money, and only get essential things — food, rent, transportation, interview clothes when necessary. But the dice rolls make it more of an adventure.
