Men aren’t Cheap…they’re Frugal

Why are women always bashing us for  being penny pinchers? Don’t they know if we hadn’t been pinching pennies in the first place, we wouldn’t be taking them out at all? To me, that’s the sign of a good man. You don’t want some guy buying you all kinds of jewelry and beautiful items cause it means that he’s superficial. Why can’t women just love me for me without eyeing the size of my wallet. I feel like such a slab of meat sometimes! I think their looking at my buttocks, but noooo. They are looking at the wallet!

Now ofcourse this is all nonsense, but the premise is still interesting. Are women being reverse sexist by demanding financial goods from their significant others? A long time ago, there were heavy complaints of guys only wanting women for one thing. They were accused of being shallow and superficial. However, I haven’t heard too much about gold-diggers! All I hear is scientific explanations like women will choose a mate that has the highest probability of protection for child rearing – and other such excuses. Let me know what you guys think!

$25 Dollars for the Week Challenge

There comes a time in every Man’s life where he has to question whether or not he is mentally deficient.  That day came yesterday when I joined a few co-workers in a challenge to survive on only $25 for the week. Now I’m the type that goes out to lunch most days (yeah, I know its expensive but I’m lazy!) and I just don’t know if it was wise of me to enter this contest! But I have discovered one thing. You don’t know what metal you are made of until its tested! All of a sudden secret skills you’ve long thought sealed away, awaken to help you in time of need! Why did I bust out the West-Indian fried dumpling’s with cornmeal and some nice cabbage for lunch today! Didn’t know I had it in me! Plus I have soup (with the boiled dumplings) just to switch it up. I bought all the groceries with 20 bucks. Lets see how I do.

Update: Turns out the challenge started after I bought groceries so I got a clean slate!!

Day 1: Lots of cabbage and a few dumplings and half a veggi-patty. Satisfying but needed a snack at the end!

Day2: Same thing from Day One. 2 dollars in snacks and 2 dollars in fries from McD’s!

Day3: Soup time! 1.50 on donut and 5 bucks for Burger King…couldn’t help it ya’ll!

Day4: Forgot my soup at home…but luckily I was taken out for pizza!!! Woohoo! $0.00 bucks baby!

Update: D’oh! Had to return the favor…at least it was falaffel and it was cheap.hehe spent $5.00

Day5: Had a Subway Sandwich. Good thing they are cheap! about $4.50

Day6: Ate the rest of my soup. That stuff was good! Can’t spend much more money since I realized I’m right at $20.00

Day7:
