[HPFGU-OTChatter]saving for important things (was Gah! *slaps hands*

[storm]

Jenny suggested ...

Or, something a friend used to do years ago....Take the cash and/or coins
and put them in a zip lock bag, then another zip lock bag, making very sure
that both bags are sealed very tight. The put the bag in a bowl of water and
freeze it. With the cash frozen in a block of ice, it is available for a
true
emergency, but getting it requires enough time and effort that MAYBE you
will stop and thing before you spend it on something else.

Oh ah, that's good. I'll have to think of that for the next time I get a
windfall.
