Bad luck backfired in my favor!

I figured out how I managed to have enough leftover cash to snap up that computer deal.

Being SKANK-ASS SICK meant that I didn't go out (not even the CTA got my money), had no social life, smoked 1/4 as much as normal, and didn't eat solid food at all.

Therefore I saved a lot of money. Yet I suspect that if I post this as a helpful hint at one of those thrifty-living sites, it wouldn't go over well.

But now I know what to do when I need to save up for something else. Forget to wash my hands and pay someone a couple bucks to cough on me.
