(I'm totalling jumping off from lrjohnson's post here, just to give credit where credit is due).
That post just got me thinking too about where being lazy saves money. I don't like to pay for haircuts, much less take the time to go get them and maintain them - so I don't. I had two haircuts in 2005 and none last year, so I average one a year. Assuming an 8-week typical schedule and a $25 haircut, that saves me about $140 annually.
I would love to have my blonder hair back, but, again, too lazy to maintain a dye job. Ditto on the styling products. I bought a hair dryer several years ago and can still count on one hand how often I have used it. My hair needs to be long enough to be pulled back off my face - other than that, I really don't care.
Make-up? Nope, I don't wear that either. Like I want to get my lazy butt out of bed ten minutes earlier to put on make-up? Not me.
So, there's quite a bit of savings right there. Sure, a lot of what I don't buy could make me look better, but it's just not worth the time or money to me.
Of course, there are plenty of areas where not being lazy saves money. For example - cooking and baking. It's an activity I enjoy, so I will take the extra hour to make a meal from scratch or bake a few loaves of bread. It goes both ways...
lazy = cheap? sometimes
