<prompt> Human: Last time we spoke I was blowing over 600 a week on crap like drag racing, car parts and eating out every night. My bills were kept up however I was saving nothing and thanks to the useful advice I now have 1900 dollars saved up in the course of 3 weeks. While I still eat out almost every night I have cut back on racing down to once a month and decided my car is fast enough parts wise and I need to fine tune it free. I have not bought any dumb crap in a long while however if I can save almost 2k in 3 weeks I am going to continue saving and buy new years or so will buy a better suited daily driver. I have also become more cost effective at work as half my problem was I am detached from money as I spend so much on parts for work. When ordering a set of screwdrivers costs 100 bucks and thats normal then its very easy to take that home with you so rather than go to Grainger for everything I shop around. Just wanted to say thanks.  <response>: If it were me, I would have celebrated by buying something for myself with the money. Dont be like me.
