Need to Save Money? Use Your Noggin

Things I Do Despite My Best Intentions to Save Money:

  • buy pretty dresses
  • rely on takeout
  • decide I absolutely need those prints on Etsy
  • not actually put money into a savings account
  • cry when I pay the bills every month

Geez louise! I should be using my noggin!

This reminds me of the Louis Vuitton coin holder that my boss had.  Why would you spend 300 dollars on something that holds 30 cents?!  

However, this is really beautiful, money in it or not.

You have to spend money to...um...save money? :P

Nah...I'm with you. Spending $300 as a means of saving money (especially in a vessel you'd eventually have to destroy) seems ridiculous.
