Used to be all you had to do to save money was stay home, that was before the internet.

I buy pre-paid cards for monthly internet use only (safe) , and will not use another card until the next month. So yes, I have a backlog of 'stuff' I want/need, but I can control the spending by staying on the one month one card rule.
