This is a new series I am adding to my podcast. On the last Friday of every month, I am going to share what I call Happy Hour. In my mind, it’s me and a few friends sitting at a table during happy hour, drinking half priced drinks and eating half priced food all while talking various topics in personal finance.Joining me for the first Happy Hour is Mrs. Frugalwoods, Melanie from Dear Debt, Tonya from Budget and the Beach and J. Money from Budgets Are Sexy and Rockstar Finance.While drinking our favorite cheap drinks, we discussed various scenarios and whether or not we thought you were saving money or stealing while doing them.

What’s Everyone Drinking?

Mrs. Frugalwoods – Boxed Wine

Melanie – White Russian

J.Money – Guinness Blonde

Tonya – 24th Street Pale Ale

Shannon – Cristalino

Podcast Notes

In this month's happy hour we talked about various scenarios and questioned whether we thought it was just smart saving or stealing. There is sometimes a very fine line between the two.

Here are the saving vs. stealing questions we tackled: Cleaning out your hotel room

Wearing clothes and then returning them

Bringing snacks to the movie theatre

Taking home office supplies

Borrowing someone’s Internet

Using somebody’s login for streaming sites like Netflix or Hulu Plus

Leaving a bad tip

What is your opinion on these questions? Do you think someone is saving or stealing when doing them?
