Eating in?
As promised, I’m checking in to tell you all how I did with my money diet over the last week. Honestly, the first few days were a little rough.

I’ve been anxiously awaiting stir-fry week since I started working here. (What can I say? I’m a woman of simple pleasures.) So the only right thing to do was treat myself. But, it sure did cost me. Take a look at how I did: Wednesday: Stir-fry. $9.65. Thursday: Didn’t pack a lunch because I was planning to meet a colleague. She bailed, so I headed to the cafeteria. (No stir-fry, too pricey.) $4.88. Friday: Woke up late. No time to fix a sandwich. $7.04. Monday: Packed a sandwich and two string cheeses for snack! $0. Tuesday: Packed a lunch again! $0.

It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas. Now that most Americans have filed their tax returns—an estimated 10 million applied for extensions—the wait is on for the much-anticipated refund checks. This year the IRS says the average tax refund is $2,464. Those checks will soon be followed by an “economic stimulus check” of between $300 and $1200, depending on whether you’ve got a family. The Federal government (and retailers) hope your newfound feelings of prosperity will translate into a trip to the local mall where you’ll pump your cash right back into the moribund economy. Before you blow your cash on car payments or flat screens, it’s worth honestly considering your financial situation before making any decisions.
