Men and women are just made to do different things. That doesn't mean women can't be CEOs of major companies and men can't be nurses, or whatever stereotype you want to use. But I think it should be pointed out that women aren't really built for manual labor, just as men are generally to bulky (really fat-fingered) for jobs that require a more delicate touch.generic Brandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11189402545943772384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7561631984395061740.post-1243085256287166872009-10-23T14:37:00.488-04:002009-10-23T14:37:00.488-04:00GB, you are the only one to comment on that part o...GB, you are the only one to comment on that part of the post.

With coins used up to the rough equivalent of US $5, it is easy to bring home whatever change I have from the day and throw it in a box. My only problem is that often I'll take a 100 or 500 yen coin out to go buy a snack at the convenience store or something.<br /><br />I think it's funny you said you were going to write about the differences of men and women, considering that is a topic I've been toying with writing for the longest time. I too, thought it was very complex and would become rather long. Maybe in segments, or perhaps we could do some sort of joint blog attempt for that.generic Brandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11189402545943772384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7561631984395061740.post-20017461778090807292009-10-22T15:12:48.671-04:002009-10-22T15:12:48.671-04:00I use a debit card for everything...instant remova...I use a debit card for everything...instant removal from my checking account and a cc for online ordering that gets paid in full each month and I too have a "cash stash".

We use the card for everything (I hate cash, almost never deal with it) and get at least $50/mo cashback.<br /><br />ING Direct has a much better online interface for bill pay and whatnot, though, and higher savings and checking account interest rates, though, so I don't bank with the CU.<br /><br />A lot of people say not to use credit cards because you feel it more when you pay cash - but I'm the opposite...if I have cash I'll end up wasting it on something ridiculous.<br /><br />Just weird like that.Stevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03579702608981127097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7561631984395061740.post-9286991647401752892009-10-22T10:08:51.108-04:002009-10-22T10:08:51.108-04:00I don't take my wallet to work with me on nigh...I don't take my wallet to work with me on night shifts so I can't buy loads of crappy food at three in the morning.<br /><br />I do however have an emergency £2 coin in my pocket diary, although I'm not sure what it's there for.The Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10051844634899994750noreply@blogger.com
