xbox 360 gameIt is hard to go an entire week without spending a little bit of money on entertainment but that is what I’ve been trying to accomplish. I looked at where the majority of money was going and was not happy with my decisions. Yea, it is great to travel and have fun but there is consequences like having less money for the future. The month of August is all about saving cash for me. So far this week, I already went out with a couple of friends for a birthday but somehow got away without spending any cash. It is nice to have generous friends. That day out should be able to hold me over through the weekend. My only plan is working, visiting a buddy who is garage-brewing beer which costs nothing but gas and playing Xbox 360 games. There is no better way to cut monthly expenses than with an Xbox 360 game.

I haven’t even bought a game in months. The ones I have are serious classics. The online modes are what keep me coming back. An Xbox 360 game online costs about as much as one night out. The difference is replayability. I can’t re-drink a beer that I just put down but I can replay a favorite Xbox 360 game.
