Who says procrastination doesn’t pay? It just saved me about $126 — and a trip to the mall, too.
That’s not because I missed the rutabaga-raisin-tinis during happy hour at Chotchkie’s, but because I didn’t take my boy, Li’l Money, back-to-school shopping.
According to a National Retail Federation survey, my not moving off the couch was a smooth financial move. The group found that fathers of children from kindergarten to high school say they’ll spend $671 on clothing, shoes, electronics and school supplies this year. Mothers, meanwhile, plan to spend $545 — 25 percent less.
