I have money I order gear or juice.
I don't have money I don't order sheet.
That's my budget.

Yeah and if like a charger breaks I'm ordering a replacement! Those kinds of things ya kinda like gotta have. :laugh: I am so thrilled that I've made it almost a year smoke-free. After 10 quits and failures, vaping did it for me. I'm very happy with myself. And vaping is just so much better than smoking. I can't believe I smoked for 30 years. THIRTY YEARS. Geez Louise.........

I've thought of a way I can order and not go under the savings. If I order tomorrow, it will take time to ship. As long as I stay under $56.50, I can put the cost in after I get it while at the same time put in next Fridays figures....

Is it ethical to deduct $200.00 from my juice figures because I donated them to a member of ECF that was in need? I know it was probably more than that amount but figure it was a good figure....

I haven't done it.........yet. I was just curious if it was ok. I know you can deduct charitable costs from your bottom line, accounting wise. Any accountants or pseudo accountants here?

Dusty or one of the Army mods, can you contact the right admin to have them update the tapatalk plugin.

I've been working with some of the developers on some issues with tapatalk and before we can go any further the plug in needs to be updated

Thanks! :D

What are you looking for Slim?! I'm on version 2 of Tapatalk on the Iphone and it's got pretty much 100% functionality including moderation tools on the ECF Forum.

I would think if you spent money on it, you gotta claim it as costs. I've given my ex a lot of juice...I don't claim it as savings because I still spent money on it that wasn't reimbursed. I wouldn't worry too much about the budget. Order a replacement Vivi with your head held high. You are still WAY ahead of the game!!! :)

You do realize you can do anything you want in this regard? It isn't like there are any tax laws or anything....

Furthermore, charitable donations on your taxes is a joke. And the more money you make the less your crap is worth. Ridiculous! I donated well over a $1000 last year and it only gave me $75 back on my taxes. Not worth the time it took...and it took a LOT of time to document it all. And I even had to send in extra documents after I submitted them. Don't get me started on taxes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My face is already flushing........:mad:

Charity is a separate account altogether. Just because you plow your savings back into charity does not mean you didn't save the money. You did...so count it as savings!

It's just the way I am. I can't do anything dishonest or it will bug me forever. Even if it is only me that I'm being dishonest with. I know, I'm weird. I would continually look at that spreadsheet and know it was based on a lie if I knowingly cheated.

The figure stays. I talked with Mr. Robin, started out going after an accounting degree in college and is a total math whiz, and it would be the same as if I ordered liquids I didn't like. It would still go on the sheet as money spent for ecig related.

Oh well.... I still have a large savings. :)

Do you remember your first cig?

I was about 14 my sister was 16. She took a couple of my mothers cigs. I had a couple of puffs and thought it was gross. I wish I could've told my 16 year old self to remember what that was like. I don't remember my first true getting into smoking at 16 but do know that I wanted to be like my friend that did smoke. Now She was Cool. Had her own car and everything. :rolleyes:

Would you have spent the $200 on charity if you hadn't saved the money in the first place? If you donated the $200 to a food bank would you have counted it against your e-cig savings?

I always looked at charity as a stand alone expense. And with that, I can hear Mr. Robin yelling at me to shut up. :)
