Go out and get yourself a jar, make it a big one and begin to tip yourself out of ever needing a cash advance again. Why not? When you go and use somebody else’s service you feel obliged to tip. There are even debates on how much you should tip these people. Sure, they are working hard for their money and many will argue that tips are voluntary, but most people would be embarrassed to leave an establishment without leaving some money to the person.
Ladies go out and get the hair and nails done by trained professionals. On top of the total cost there is always a line to add the tip or maybe there is a jar on the side of the counter to be shared by all those working that shift. Head into a restaurant and tips are highly appreciated. Listen to the whispers behind the service counter on how much or how little was added to the price of the meal. Tips are often shared among the staff. It is not just the server you tip, but the money is split between the host and clean up team.
So why can’t you tip yourself? Put a jar up on your own counter. Decorate it if you’d like or leave it bare in order to view the coins and bills built up within. How much would you tip yourself? Let’s see, you made dinner, served the plates, cleaned off the table and washed the dishes. How many meals did you eat at your dining room table? Finish the laundry? You could tip yourself for the extra starch on the collar or the pleated seems so perfectly ironed. So what if you paint your own nails. You provided the service and now you have to tip yourself.
Try a do-it-yourself cash advance.
How fast could all of your tips add up? Even if you didn’t pay the same amount as you would a business, the jar would still fill up. Can you just imagine if you had the money to tip yourself the same as you would others outside the house? You would be able to start your own cash advance lending service among friends and family. Well, okay maybe you won’t, but the jar full of cash can quickly become an emergency fund in order to prevent your own cash advance need.
I wonder what the going rate for tipping the maid might be?. I bet my jar would fill up fast as I often have to re-clean the same floor multiple times a week. It isn’t easy keeping the floors clean with both pets and children running around. Instead of complaining, I might view the chore differently knowing that a service well done deserves a great tip.
It isn’t just about creating a savings. Tipping yourself for a job well done is a good practice to get into. You may find yourself making your own coffee frappe at home for a fraction of what you would spend outside and place the difference into the tip jar. Think outside the box and keep your tips at home. You won’t have anyone but yourself to blame for the unfilled jar. The practice of tipping yourself may encourage you to stay at home more often as you find alternative options for that tip money. What could this do to your financial budget? What could this do to your future financial outlook? The possibilities are endless.
