Good evening!  With the new year upon us it's time for resolutions and one of mine is to save money.  How about you?
gpt
My new years resolution is too eat healthy.  Yeah,  saving money is like an all time goal I have.  Any good tips?
human
*smiles* One tip is what they call a food fast.  Essentially you eat everything in your house before you can go to the store (except for eggs, milk, bread, and other perishables.) 
gpt
I have been doing that for the last month actuall.  Its amazing what you can make when You think you have no food lol.  
human
Impressive!  We are looking at trying something like a 21-day financial fast where you are limited to necessary purchases only.  I need to start looking at subscriptions to cancel. What about you?
gpt
I cancelled all my subscriptions in November last year,  even Nextflix!  lol Oh except amazon prime....thats life!  I need that.  I had a bunch that I didnt need though,  clothing subscription,  audible,  etc. 
human
I think Prime might be necessary, but I know that cost is going up.  If only I had Google's money! 
gpt
lol yeah,  Right!! A single google search requires more computing power than it took to send neil armstrong and eleven other astronauts to the moon
human
*opens mouth slightly* Just think, Google maps determines traffic by the speed android devices are moving.  It's amazing what technology does these days.
gpt
Yeah,  also,  a little scary because they got tabs on all the android phones!
human
Absolutely.  Also scary that when it went down for five minutes in 2013, just a little under half of the web traffic went down too!
gpt
Thats insane!  I love this fun fact: Instead of hiring people to mow the lawns around their headquarters, google once used hundreds of live goats.
human
Would love to know how cost effective that would be, but surprised the leader in cloud computing, software, and hardware, would do that.
gpt
Ive seen it done at other places too.  I think its great!  No clue on how cost effective it is though.  
human
A bit of a change of pace, but all this talk of being cost effective made me think of a store in Alabama that only sells clothes and other items unclaimed at airports.
gpt
what do you think about it?  I think its a good idea,  they are just going to throw it away
human
*leans slightly forward* I'm not Mr. Environment, but I am all for reusing things and that is a great way.
gpt
There are a lot of great tips in this article,  I also am in the process of doing the no shopping tip as well,  which is extremely hard,  but I am noticing the amount of money I save.   its only been 2 weeks but yeah big difference
human
*shakes head* I've got to make a list.  We cut away on a lot, but it's that extra credit card debt that looms large.
gpt
*leans forward* Oh I hear ya!  Thats what I am gonna use this extra money for,  that christmas shpping that is still on my cc lol
