Adieu, to you and you and you

Well, as of 5pm this afternoon Chicks And Balances will come to an end.  I was unhappy that I wasn't posting as often recently (which is a natural progression since we only have so many things we can buy in a given space of time), but I'm satisfied with the overall way we were able to express ourselves as individuals.  Bridget and I are definitely opposites in many ways - and we certainly have fought because of it - but that's spilled milk compared to the good stuff we're able to share as roommates....namely, I get to play her Guitar Hero whenever I want, but I digress.

Will Bridget's influence continue to lead me down the path of thriftiness?  Perhaps.  Maybe...ahem...possibly.  Though I think it's a dubious sign for the future that I'm concurrently typing this up and browsing eBay.  But if I could leave one lasting message through this blog it would be this: don't be afraid of money, people, and don't be afraid to use it!  Don't spend over your means, but don't covet all of your earnings to the point that you're restricting yourself.  In the end, a tight-fisted Scrooge is just as bad as a hopeless spendthrift.  So while I'm readying my debit card (once again), I'll leave you with this little farewell:

P.S. Good luck and happy spending to the next blog, Your Pad On A Penny!
