@The Non Student – Great idea on the networking! Using cash will allow you to have a great time without regretting it later!

@Kacie – Cash budgeting definitely isn’t for everyone. I know you’ve already tried it, and it just didn’t work for you. No big. I’m sure you’ll find a great balance.

@Jill – CONGRATS ON THE HOUSE! So exciting! I’m sure you’ll find ways to cut corners and make it work!

You've done a really good job! As we are about to have a mortgage (closing on a house next week!), I really need to work on developing a better budget and sticking to it. .-= Jill´s last blog ..Keep the Change... =-.

Yay! I’m so glad it’s over! You guys did a great job. You showed discipline, planning and a great attitude!

I’m not quite ready to go cash-only for anything, but you’ve inspired me to at least think about it. :)

Sounds like spending cash can save you time as well, especially if you’re doing grocery shopping in one trip rather than splitting them up.

I’ve decided to do cash-only for my “networking” allotment (great suggestion on that!), which help me keep better track and will remind me that every drink I have is a drain on my wallet.

Thanks for sharing!
