18th Step closer to saving $10,000 in a year.

Nursing or Formula (I can’t believe I’m even going here!)

My wife and I used formula on both our children. It’s much more comfortable for her and convenient for both of us. I enjoy being involved with my kids and while no one likes 3:00 am feedings I enjoy being with my children.
Our children are both very healthy so the only advantage we see that nursing offers is expense.
Those cans of formula are $20.00 on sale! Kids can go through 2-3 of those a week so that’s spending $2,080.00 on the low side.
However, this is one case where, for us, the convenience is worth the price.

Weight Loss

Freakonomics author, Steven Levitt, said weight loss is a huge incongruity in the world. Millions of dollars are spent every year by people trying to loose weight, when weight loss is free! Not only is it free, it ends up saving people money on food not purchased and improved health. So why do people spend so much on something free? Maybe you should stop.
The information of daily cost is not on the web sites of Nutrisystem or Jenny Craig, they want you to register or call in. This information comes from ezine.com and their research puts the cost at $8.00 to $10.00 a day.
On the high side, a weight loss book from the library would save a person $3,600 a year.
