    On this day last year I gambled for the last time! I had been a gambling addict for 24 years at that point (from the ages of 15-39) and had squandered so much money through those years - it makes me sick to think about the tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars I just threw away!! I wasn't sure I could keep myself out of the casino/bingo hall for a day, much less a whole year, but as I approached forty I just knew I had to make a change in my life.

    Shortly after vowing to give up gambling I found couponing and boy what a godsend that was!! I dove right into it...learning as much as I could as fast as I could. I had a binder full of coupons within a month and had started to build a stock pile. I felt a rush getting a good deal and saving money - a better rush than gambling ever gave me!! Now here I am one year later and I cannot even fathom throwing away even one dollar gambling - I mean come on there are so many great things I can pick up for a dollar using my coupons!!!

    I am really proud of myself today and just had to share!!
    Congratulations!!!! You have traded one addiction for another! LOL,,,,,,I need to apply the same technique to smoking.

    Its not 'savings', it is spending less or spending nothing - if you put it in the bank and it stays there, it is savings
