Last year I cut out coffee and succeeded. Was finding I drank 1/2 a pot and couldn't get started without a cup of coffee. This year, not really set on one yet, maybe cutback on TV.
New Year's resolutions anyone?
I have set myself a $25 weekly limit on bar tabs.
This should save me about $100 a month. :)

Lose the ten pounds I didn't lose last year, plus the couple of pounds I gained.
Oh my god, that is good. I'd save…damn, a few hundred a month at least. Getting a budget done and watching my cash expenditures is it, though I haven't done that yet.

My motto for the year is gonna be "Get off your ass and do it". Stop putting it off. Stop whining about it. Stop waiting for someone else to do it. Get off your ass and take care of things.
We'll see how long that lasts :)

Mine is to not upset sonickteam…but I failed miserably barely a week into the New Year.
No resolutions for me – I'm already perfect.
Pare down my CD collection to fit into my available storage space, i.e. 1800 CDs, and keep it that way throughout the year. If I add one, then one must go. It's a nearly impossible task.
Originally posted by twangirl:At 45 minutes a CD, that is 1350 hours of music or 33.75 working weeks (40 hrs per week) of music. Quite a bit. I would have made the year be the limit (2004 this year, you can add one for next year, etc.). Would be a bit of growing room…

I don't want multiple bookcases, drawers or do-it-yourself shelves. I found this but I'm a little leery of spending that kind of money on something I haven't actually seen yet.

That thing looks like a pretty nice piece of furniture, and if it's not particle board the price isn't too bad. I have 2 brushed steel CD racks that I got at Tower a couple of years ago for about $120 each. Each holds 600 CDs and I have 2 black wood ones that each hold 250. And I have a smaller one [100] on my stereo shelves that I hope to use for new stuff that I need to check out.

haha.
Originally posted by sonickteam2:Well, I'm not so inclined. I'd rather spend the money and get something decent, rather than waste a lot of time trying to build something myself and having it turn out mediocre at best.

I was at IKEA a couple of weeks ago and they have a bunch of CD storage stuff at reasonable prices.
