Amusing thoughts on a financial tip...

So I was reading http://www.parenting.com/article/Mom/Work--Family/101-Ways-to-Bail-Out-Your-Family-Budget and came across this tip:

46. Bank what you resist spending.
Every time you talk yourself out of an impulse buy, like a pricey pair of shoes, transfer that amount into your savings account. You'll be amazed at how much you'll have in the bank by the end of the year.

All I could think was "I'd have to transfer my entire income to savings every month!" :)
