There are few things that can tear me away from my computer, but the possibility of watching people grab flying dollars in money booths is one of them (and the rare SoCal-esque weather here didn't hurt, either.) Yesterday I took a mini field trip with
LibertySugar and
Vidiot — we walked a few blocks to Union Square where
Wachovia was hosting its Savings Awareness Event that challenged Americans to save more. To check out a fun video and my chat with the onsite economist just read more.
The event featured eight glass money booths where people had the chance to grab flying dollars. Unfortunately, I didn't get the chance to participate but I did have the opportunity to briefly speak with Dr.
I've always had the opinion that my time is too valuable to spend endless hours shopping around for the deal of the century. Sure, I'll wait for certain things to go on sale, but that's about where my patience tapers. There have been a handful of web applications introduced lately that would actually save you money without driving you crazy.
