Can't have someone lose the weight for you, jack. This is as close as you'll get. Some hi-tech company is yapping on about a new techno shopping cart that'll read barcodes for you, see? Give you all the dirt on the grub you're buying ... calories, nutritional value, carbs; the whole shebang.

Hey, that reminds me ... did you hear about that new checkbook that balances itself? No? Well, that sounds right ... because IT DOESN'T EXIST!!!! When it comes to dropping weight or dropping debt, the "drop" part is your responsibility, baby. A shopping cart won't get you to eat better unless you get you to eat better. A budget is the same way.

There's making a budget, and there's sticking to it. The sooner you start working a good money plan, the sooner it starts working for you. Chew on that.
