Writer's Block: Small Economies

[Error: unknown template qotd]Temperature regulation in my house is a challenge. My family want to wear shorts in the winter and parkas in the summer but I am training them in no uncertain terms. I keep the A/C at 78 in the summer and the heat at 58 in the winter. Put the proper clothes on people and stop your whining!

Christmas Thriftiness

We have basically cut out gifts for almost all adult friends and we have put a spending limit on each other as well. Last year, we went embarrassingly overboard to the point we all felt guilty (it's just four adults and the amount of gifts was just obscene). This year, we're all putting an eye towards being a lot more conservative; but should we have a child to spoil next year, we will surely do so to the best of our ability :-)

Spoiling other children, just another service we provide! :-)
