Are you at the point where it is no longer worth it to try to spend less?
I've sort of come to the conclusion that it is almost fruitless to try to economize on small items, since the time that you waste is seldom worth it. I'm at the point in my profession where my spare time is at a premium, so it's really hard to justify clipping coupons or chasing down sales when the time could be used more productively. It kind of goes against my upbringing to not be thrify and a smart consumer, but I really can't justify the time cost of "thriftiness". Does anyone have any web links or advice for the extremely busy consumer?
Answer:
Get the Sunday paper and let that be the only morning you spend trying to be thrifty. You won't feel guilty about not being a smart consumer, and you won't have to put a lot of effort into shopping smarter either. Check out the ads in the paper and plan accordingly for the week. I feel that way a lot around the holidays- it's not worth getting into all that traffic to save a few bucks.
I am afraid I'm in the same boat. Time is at a premium so a few extra cents is not worth the time spent.
Ralph Nader agrees with you, and always has.
It's probably not that important. How you use you're time, like being with people you love, or just enjoying you're time.
The paradox is, if you worry about it all to much, you'll end up spending more. A whole lot more.
Don't worry, be happy. Think what that will save in health care in the long run!
Yes, I passed the point of diminishing returns on thrift, now is time to make investments
