I just came across this, and thought some of you might enjoy it:

It would be nice if this fad catches on.

As the man says, "This is a concept that's been around".

The beat goes on

I love it. I'd use it every day for my family:

DH: Let's take a trip to Nice. "Sorry, we're loud budgeting."
BIL: My mechanic says I have two bald tires and I don't get paid until Friday. Can you loan me the money?" "Sorry, I'm loud budgeting."
DS: Let's take the kids to DisneyWorld! I'll pay half!" "Sorry, I'm loud budgeting."

I have saved a fortune so far this year by not buying two camera lenses I really wanted. Super-terrific lenses, but very very expensive, and I have lenses that are ~90% as good. Plus the weather in Jan/Feb here isn't really conducive to using them.

Mountains of cash saved!

There had to be a way to catch the attention of younger folks towards budgeting and this seems to be it. I'm glad! Hopefully my kids will see it! (And do it!) LOL

I have noticed a lot of growth in the FB and Reddit sphere around the topics of budgeting and being frugal. There is even a Tightwad Gazette FB group. I wish I could persuade DD to jump on board but she married a guy who loves to spend money.

I’m an active member of the Tightwad Gazette FB group!

I haven't joined but glad to know being frugal is back in style.
