Yes I had some decent money in ZZ and it disappeared ... Have not been able to login for over a month so I did wonderDON'T BUY STUFF (from Frugalwoods)
No seriously, just don’t buy things. 99% of our success with our savings rate is attributed to the fact that we don’t buy things... You can and should take advantage of discounts.... But at the end of the day, the only way to truly save money is to not buy stuff. Money doesn’t walk out of your wallet on its own accord.

So what's our next money-for-(practically)-nothing scam 🤷♀️? I've already had to unplug my TV-monitoring box, as I'm sure it's suddenly costing me double the value of the reward in electricity since I've moved back in 🤔 Need something free and pretty easy!
