Well, sometimes a virus can be helpful. And I'm glad to say, we've been spreading a bug around amongst our friends and acquantainces. That bug is savings. And it's spreading.
It's a little bit awesome to hear stories from some of our friends of late telling us how they've changed their savings habits and budgeting methods. Not only are people watching us, but they're using us to fuel their own races. Granted, some of our friends are tired of hearing about our tips and tricks...but they mostly indulge us, and we have noticed they are putting money into their savings accounts when they didn't before.
This excites me. A lot. Not only are our good friends watching from the sidelines, they're participating. They're making the changes in their own budgets, and I've toyed with the idea of making a sort of unofficial race-along, with a silly prize for the winner. It's awesome to hear "I can too" instead of the same thing I used to say..."I would but..."
On an only mildly related note, we're back from Vegas, had a great time, and owned our budget. We came in well under the mark, and I'll be posting soon about the trip. They tell me that 4 page blog entries are bad, so there will likely be several. ;)
