Day 26

So... another month has come and gone, and another 30 day challenge has passed me by without much to show for it! I've made a few dollars here and there, but probably nothing more than $10 total in passive income (cafepress, adsense, etc). My best savings has been using coupons for my grocery shopping and being able to eat at home for lunch and dinner.

I guess I can take one more shot at the goal in December to make an extra $300 in 30 days by "passive" techniques, and then be set for an amazing 2009! Of course, the economy isn't helping all that much, when people aren't buying, but that will all change in January, right??
