We used to do this, pay everything through the credit cards, but then we completely changed it around.

So now what we do is we pay everything out of savings.

Yes, theoretically, you can be better off.

You can get these gift cards.

You can get points and this.

But just the mentality of the numbers going up and that number is kind of almost uncapped depending on your credit card limit or from a household budget.

that's okay.

We've flipped it around and put money into a separate account and we cap our weekly spending.

So every month we put money into a bank account.

And so towards the end of the month, if we've spent bigger, we naturally just stop spending money.

And it's just, it's changed our mindset and it's saved us a heap of money.

And me and Kate, we're not like, I know you call me a tight ass, but we're not like crazy frugal.

We're like...

We live well.

We have a reasonable household budget.

It was a 45-minute match that cost you two grand.

Let's be honest, it was a great use of your money.

Yeah, it was good.

And we've saved like so much money on an annualised basis because I track our spending at the end of the year.
