It’s like the old saying that no single raindrop believed itself responsible for the flood….. a significant amount is made up of many insignificant amounts – and most people consider it beneath them to add up the small amounts that are effortlessly saved.

Great perspective here. We’re so often confronted with a great idea or plan but we’re blinded to it because of our existing mindsets – that’s why Money Ball remains one of my favorite books.

If we break our finiances out as you’ve suggested we’re likely to not only reevaluate income/saving opportunities but also the expenses that do consume our budget. In your example… hey, do I really need this huge car payment now that I see how it impacts my free time budget?!?

Thanks for sharing, this is a powerful post.

My take home pay after taxes, 401k, medical, etc. is roughly US$15/hr. If something will save or earn me more than that for an hour’s effort or cost I will happily do it. For example a programmable thermostat costs less than $30 and takes all of half an hour to install. The savings in one year would pay for it and then some.

Saturday Linkstuff, Multitasking Edition…

I usually do this post on Saturday but after a night of vodka and ceviche, I’ve had to ’stagger’ it to Sunday.

I wrote a post on Friday about maximizing my time with my laptop and how I like to multitask and do many things at the same time. Someon…
