The way that I have done the “envelope system” may help with the carrying cash issue. . .

I use a debit card for all my purchases. My periodic expenses (gas, food, entertainment, etc) are written on a sheet of paper that I keep in the same way that I would keep a check register. So, on payday, I put $150 at the top of the food register, and keep track of my expenses toward food from my debit card on that seperate register (nee envelope). This helps me keep those types of expensees under wraps.

Maggie, I agree with you that its somewhat risky running around town with envelopes stuffed with cash. I remember how difficult it was keeping track of my purse & small children while running errands years ago – especially in the market. Even without the mugging or robbery factor, its far SAFER to NOT carry the cash, which COULD be lost.
I’m more comfortable with my CC or DC in my pocket… never lost either, but i have had $20 or so of cash fall out of my pocket on several occasions!

I’ve also heard of the statistic of number of ads we’re exposed to in a day and it is a bit frightening. In our household, we’ve made a conscious decision not to own a television to cut down on that a bit for our kids.

Why would someone watch 5 hours of television a day when they could be doing some activity that would save them some money of help others? Do your own yard work, house work, prepare your own meals from scratch. You will save lots of money and avoid the adiction to television.

I think Dave may mean that if you watch 5 hours of TV per day, you spend about $1000, for the entire year, more than someone that doesn’t watch TV. ($200 * 5).

well just in reading this article, there are technically 5 ads I was ‘exposed to’. mutiply that by dozens of articles, blogs and websites, that I will visit in the next 30 minutes, and you get a rather large number.

But I had to scroll back up after reading before posting my comment to find them.

So I think in general some of the 3-4K statistic is a bit overrated.

TV on the other hand, unless you always head for a bathroom break, those ads you really see. And being a passenger in a car, I read far to many billboards.
