Strictly speaking this isn\u2019t giving anything away or simplifying my life, but if I put the money saved to a good cause, maybe it\u2019s a way of making money because I\u2019m not spending more. Of course the trade-off is that it takes my time to do this and I don\u2019t have a reputation for being good at numbers.<br \/>\nThis same principle of &#8220;Spend in order to Save&#8221; could be applied to paying more for energy efficient appliances or quality goods that will last longer.<\/p>\n<p><input id=\"gwProxy\" type=\"hidden\" \/> <input id=\"jsProxy\" type=\"hidden\" \/> <input id=\"gwProxy\" type=\"hidden\" \/> <input id=\"jsProxy\" type=\"hidden\" \/> <input id=\"gwProxy\" type=\"hidden\" \/> <input id=\"jsProxy\" type=\"hidden\" \/><\/p>\n<p><input id=\"gwProxy\" type=\"hidden\" \/><input id=\"jsProxy\" type=\"hidden\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I bought Turbo Tax.
