Want to cut spending by 50% this year. Need to consume more inventory as well, but i can only do so much.

Status: offline 		My wife just told me I need a moratorium for a month.
She says I've shown no compunction to not spend money I don't have on things I don't need (car racing for instance).

My moratorium duration as I see it is only until I consume 12 or 24 bottles so I can buy another case or two without going over 500 in cellar.
And if I get too anxious I can get a Mix 6 fix at Total Wine.

What good is working & slaving for money if you can't use it for something that makes you smile once in a while?

A plan for the Moratorium - a Planetorium!

She went along on nearly every trip when I raced every summer from 1995 to 2010.
I did a lot on a relatively small budget and reaped a lot of enjoyment.
It was only in 2005 when I threw reason to the wind and did whatever I could to be competitive - finishing the season with a significant credit card balance.
Her complaints about my spending fell on deaf ears back then too.

I figure below 500 bottles is a good place to stay for a while until I come up with more storage space anyhow.
However, buying less bottles means I can up the per bottle price (always thinking I am).

Except that I wasn't buying spares for the future all the time, only the things that needed frequent replacement.

You know, you and a couple other members have quite a few "exceptions" to the Moratorium rules.

It pays to have been here since the early days. The rules can be complicated to beginners.

I realized I probably need to kee the off-site.

80%!!! Are you crazy, you don't belong here! You still have room for another 40-45%!
