Saving money

Post by Cpt Matt Sparrow »

I promised when I got Robot Guitar I would not order pizza or get cabs for 6 months and use busses.

So far I have saved almost half Robot Guitars money!! I actually really like the bus now. I have started getting through a book a week too,

I would advise anyone if possible sometimes to do something similar. For example if you like booze and go out 3/4 times a week.

Go out once, go to the off license and use the difference to buy fun things!!

God bless gear!!

I like using the bus.. but i prefer to walk if wherever i go is in walking distance (2 miles is my limit) only use the bus if i start having a panic attack and i want to leave on a quick sharp.

But hey! How is the robot guitar doing?

well done Matt!

i save quite a lot of money simply because i dont go out much and even if i do i dont drink hardly anything. The reason; i drink therefore i must pee. Running to the bathroom all night is just a pain.

im richer than most other students because of this, i end up spending the difference on gear and music.

Not too keen on busses, they confuse me :lol: ...but if i have too!

I dont drink alcohol much either, i prefer diet coke, even if i do look like a sissy LOL. Recently i've been mixing beer with diet coke, its a damn good drink you should give it a go. Plus it prompts worried looks from bartenders. :lol:
