Comments on: Financial Obligations Part II… http://www.moral-flexibility.net/blog/archives/2008/07/09/financial-obligations-part-ii/ The ramblings of a zombocalypse ready, hoplophile Canuck.

I found that if I just kept a list of the monthly balances in a spreadsheet, being able to refer to the increase over the long term was more satisfying than only seeing the last few months on the statements. I went kayaking with my friend from Mutual last week, and she remembered her happiest moment there as the year-end when her final pay stub proved she had spent $0 in the company cafeteria over the year. Hmmm, frugal as fun... Keeping multiple savings-accounts worked better for me too.

I was never good at that, however. For example, several times I passed on an investment of a couple of bucks that now would represent several hundred thousand dollars I'd have netted. That investment was a condom. :) I totally agree with your approach of making small investments now for big pay-off later. I was never good at that, however.
