Guest Post: The Value Of A Dollar

My friend Cricket from Thrifty Texas Penny is a brilliant mathematician.  Plus, she just tends to think about things in a completely different way than most of us!   She has written this great post that will make you certainly think twice before grabbing that item that is "just a dollar."

Here's what she has to say:

"It's so easy to spend a dollar. A single dollar is such a miniscule part of the amount we earn that we don't feel guilty spending it. I'm not immune to spending a few extra dollars here or there and blowing it off as an inconsequential amount of money. This bit of mathematics may help us all understand that every dollar does count, it's actually worth $2 - $5!"

You'll have to head over and read the full post to see how she came up with that figure. ;)
