Allowance

I've decided in another effort to save money, I am giving myself a $20 cash allowance each week.  I plan to use this for any eating out, gift contributions at work, snack machine snacks, etc.  Once it runs out, I don't get anymore until the next week.  If I have extra left at the end of the week, I'm going to put it in my loose change jar and hold on to it as an extra savings.  This way I will cut down on my debit card usage and will spend less.  I think spending cold hard cash will make me more aware of how much money i'm actually spending.
