    Haha, maybe that's why I like the site. I feel ok about what I've been spending when I come here.

    Yeah, AoS got me interested but I think I will leave their stuff behind. Good idea on the brush, Joe.

If you can stay at that level you will come ahead of the game but as you already found out most of us can't, including me. I don't kid myself any longer, I do it for a bunch of other reason and saving money is not one of them.
