Oh yeah....
that's exactly how I started saving money. I never saved money. I smoked, drank and shat it all out. For years. I don't even want to know how much money that was...
One day I realized I wanted to be able to say to the boss, "Screw you guys, I'm going home."
Now when the boss says,"Jump!" instead of saying,"How high?" I pause and think about if I want to jump or not.
