A Jar and the Future

For all those ladies out there who are like me, thank you.

And for like me, I mean ladies who always have a list of things (clothes, shoes, whatever) that they want.

Now wants are different than needs, which is a HARD lesson to learn (read I am still learning it).

Like I need groceries, and want that cute Old Navy shirt, etc.

(even though you might just read about it later this week...)

You get the idea, I need not bore you all.

But while sweeping what felt like mounds and mounds of dog hair last week.

I decided I needed a Roomba or Mint (I haven't decided which yet).

But seriously it would make my life soooo much easier and cleaner, and let's be honest who doesn't want that???

Roomba vs. Mint

I was not willing to drop Three Hundo plus on the toy, because again all I could see were other more 'useful' things I could spend that money on.  Gas, Christmas presents, life, etc.

So I made a Roomba/Mint jar.

Every time I have extra $$$ (cash) in my wallet I am going to put in the jar.

Like when I get a reimbursement check, or pay for a tab and friends give me cash- all that money goes in the jar.

Once the jar has $300 in it, I'm investing.

Now this may take a while, I know.

But since the robotic floor cleaning device is something I want and not something I need I figured I could work for it.

I like this so far. The jar sits on the table. 

Tempting me to save $ for it.

Get closer to those sparkly floors.

If you're having trouble, start a jar.

 I already have $82 bucks of my toy paid for!!!

What are you saving for???

P.S. If you have a Roomba or Mint please comment and let me know what you think of either and why. I am doing some serious research before I have my 'go buy moment'.
