Why am I spending $100.00 a month on hair!
I finally got a hair cut yesterday. I had been holding off for two reasons; 1) I have always wanted to try "the shag", and 2) I hate budgeting one hundred dollars a month for hair! Seriously. It's not that I actually average a haircut a week, but my wife cuts and colors her hair every two months and that alone is like $160.00 a pop! So, if she goes every other month, and I go once a month we are looking at a $200.00 expenditure in the household budget! On hair cut expenses - totally ridiculous!
So I asked the hair stylist if she had noticed any relationship between fewer haircuts and our worsening economy. Surprisingly (to me at least) she answered that she has not seen any reduction in the number of hair cuts. So, if people aren't skrimping on hair cuts, where are they making cut backs? Fewer trips to the movie theatre? Less meals out? More car pooling? Fewer rounds of golf?
It seems the minds over at Mvelopes were wondering the same thing as they recently posted a survey entitled " In an economic slowdown, which of the following would you be least likely to give up?" According to Corey Davis (VP of Marketing) the answer is not eating out, but he didn't tell us what people are giving up .
Well you choose to give up what you will give up, but as for me and my family, our form of money management starts with no more hair cuts!
