saving
epitome of incomprehensibility Plan: to save money for a possible summer course/trip.

Methods:

-Don't buy too much already-made food.

-Buy used when possible (clothes, accessories, electronics)

-Sometimes people give away free things! (the_mooching_chronicles)

Cautions:

-Don't become obsessed.

-Don't let saving money get in the way of being generous when needed - with money and (less obviously) time.

e_o_i ...When I was thinking about this word on Monday or thereabouts, my mind went "oh, there's this Christian song about saving grace" and then I started humming it.

Friends, it was Amazing Grace. Not "saving grace." And everyone knows that song. (Not literally, but close.)

e_o_i A chance to save money, though I groused at it all Wednesday because it presented a barrier to novel-writing -

My boss B. wants me to work all day next Monday and Wednesday doing admin stuff, because the main admin assistant's work permit was delayed. But it sucks for her! She needs this work more than me, maybe; at least, she's better suited to it.
