On The Benefits of List-Making
I use a 101 list for those in-between life-goal type to-dos. It's 101 things I want to accomplish in 1001 days, which is not quite three years. There's all sorts of different goals on there, some with longer lead times than others, in a bunch of different categories (financial, travel, self-improvement, work, etc.) I find that so long as you are specific with the 101 goals it strikes a nice balance between long term life planning and daily actions, and serves my love of list-making.

On Reader Mail: I Saved A Lot of Money. Now What?
@Titania Yeah, it's the advice column thing that got me all bothered, I think. I know the site as a whole is trying to include different viewpoints, but in an entry specifically filed under 'advice' where someone asks a perfectly reasonable question about what to do with their perfectly reasonable savings, it's a little jarring to have "Maybe you should live a little? Like, what has she been doing with herself (or himself)?" right up front. I know you browbeat her back from that, but still.

On Reader Mail: I Saved A Lot of Money. Now What?
@NoReally Seriously. The concern-trolling over how this poor person clearly has no idea how to live or have fun is pretty gross.

On How Much Do You Spend on Groceries Every Week?
My grocery budget is 150 per month, so roughly 35 bucks a week, for one person in the midwest. This includes a soda habit but no booze or toiletries or pet stuff. I eat out a couple times a month.
