It pays to buy a good tool once. I make each wallet pen® by hand. They are Sterling Silver guaranteed for life and once in your wallet you’ll hooked. a much better investment than Bernie or the banks. Add 4 post-it notes and you have the XPDA calculator for those on the fly budgetary conferences. Thin wallets are the only way to go. Save everything else in your desk. All you really need for most forays are a Wallet Pen, post-its a CC, a drivers license and a folded 20 or 50. Best of luck making it to the 30th and thanks for mentioning the Wallet pen, Tom in Vermont

Hey brother dear. I am working on a card that will hold all our expenses – especially when the kids ask for twenty here and there. But, seriously thanks for sharing and I am going to try and implement your pocket card idea to better track those impulse spendatures. A web site you might want to check out is mint.com. It offers free online budgeting tools.

Take care – Shanda
