But I told myself I'd post my 2012 cumulative numbers (well, sort of cumulative, as you'll see), so here they are:
TOTAL
for 2012:
No-Spend Days: 118, maybe more? – took some months off tracking
No Eating Out Days: 141, maybe more? – took some months off tracking

Extra
Income: $5592.21 ($746.99 from surveys (down—have really let these fall by the
wayside this last quarter or so), $269.63 cash back from credit cards, $79.44
from selling books back on amazon (it’ll probably get down close to zero now
that I’m not buying textbooks, alas), $2975 in work bonuses, $968.84 from
expense reimbursements, $50.97 from my piggy bank, $20 for jury duty, $50.90 in
bank bonuses, $9 for making dinner, $20 in an anniversary card, and $401.44 interest)
HOLY CRAPBALLS, MAN. I guess the important thing I take away from this is there
really are little bits of money coming in from random places—pay attention to
them, squirrel them away, and they really do add up!
Retirement
Savings: $6002.57 - more than twice as much as last year!
Work-Out Days: 2…? Can it really only be 2? I am laughing my butt off right now. Oh, if only that counted for working out.

No-Carb
Days: 137, which is almost exactly twice the number from last year. This
explains how I stayed in good shape (cat-suit shape at Halloween, even!) with
all that sitting around on my butt.
However, the no-carb days basically ended after cat-suit day, and now
it’s more like … well, you know. We have one skinny kitty and one not-so-skinny
kitty. It’s like that.
Books Finished: 40 – 15 more than last year! Being finished with school for now definitely helped, as I could read things that were actually enjoyable for the most part. I did “read” a few audiobooks as part of that 40, although it seemed like that only really worked for memoir-type books, otherwise the audiobook contained like 18 CD’s and was never done before the LYE-berry wanted it back. And I’m not going to BUY an audiobook. As if!

And now I get to go check something off the list and get my little heroine some shiny new armor! BIIIITTTCCHHHIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
