I'm an "Indian Specialist" in my job as most of my buyers are Indians. Boy, aren't they even tougher (tight arse) than Chinese when it comes to money and negotiation. Don't get upset with this comment, I'm just talking about a fact. LOL. I'm a Chinese myself but ahs been an Australian citizen nerly 3 decases. I think beiing an Indian in origin helps you to come up with such a good book as "I Will Teach You To Be Rich". Your article on barriers is pretty cool. Basically, barriers acts as self-sabotages.

WWAID – I love it!

If all you're doing is ctrl+f your actual receipts, someone that stole your number and charged you will get by. Also receipts you lose/didn't print from your computer/never got a receipt, won't be counted. I export them off my CC website to excel and delete them off the list as I find them to make sure I get everything on my statement. Wouldn’t doing that miss any false charges to your account?

I don't think it matters your nationality, having a solid grip on your finances and making sure that you don't get ripped off is a pretty universal desire. WWAFPD? What would a frugal person do? This post did open my eyes to something to look out for, I would normally have thrown restaurant receipts out right away. I live in the mid-west and I think sometimes it makes me too trusting of people to do the right thing. I also think WWAID is sort of off color.

This is much easier then one big reconcile at the end of the month that I use to do. I also suggest for all your reader. Keep you receipts is not just for credit cards. The bank lost my deposit. I wish I kept my receipt then this problem would be easier to resolve. You can read about it here: http://sumofmydecisions.blogspot.com/2008/02/bank-teller-lost-my-money.html thanks and keep up the great blog. Ramit

But, I have one rule, never charge at a restaurant or a bar. Whether it's fast-food or or a super classy steakhouse ... I only pay cash. I figure that either I have enough cash to put in my pocket and pay for that dinner and drinks or I need to stay home that evening.
