Money money money

Cheap SOB that I am, I hate spending money. Unfortunately, there seems to be a lot of outflow these days and not as much inflow. Thank God, we are not poor. Slightly shy of really comfortable, perhaps, but we can buy what we need, and pretty much buy what we want.

Unfortunately, all that starts to add up, and the bank account is getting thinner than I'd like. Add to that the call just now from the car place today informing me of the need for a brake job (yes, I know some people do that themselves - I'm not that talented) and my blood pressure is beginning to rise. There's some other cash around somewhere, but I've been saving that for the tax bill I am expecting come April.

I wonder if we could do without food for a while?
