"Travelocity – We all know how expensive trips are…how awesome would it be to earn 2% Cash Back (for most offers) on your trip? We recently booked a hotel room through SHOP.COM and used our AMEX, so we got the points on the card plus $10 Cash Back…that’s enough for half a box of Quest Bars!"
Yes, half a box of Quest Bars! It's time to abandon MMM and start following Whitney Carlson. It was nice knowing you all :)
Seriously, though, at least she's challenging her readers to save a little bit of money. Anyone thats follow her $1,050 savings plan will be outsaving (maybe) one-third of workers, possibly more. I thought it was also nice of her to set the bar even lower for people who can only manage to save $12.50 in January [I added the underline]:
"I challenge you, if you have more money to put away – double this. If you REALLY can’t make it work (I mean REALLY, not just that you don’t want to give up your Starbucks or nails) then half the amount listed."
