10. Good sex keeps you healthy. It is the best exercise in the world. Saving you money on medical cost and gym fees.
9. Good sex keeps you from spending money as easily. You want to keep your clothes off. Face it, it is much harder to spend money naked than fully clothed.
8. Good sex makes you want to spend TIME, not money on the one that you want.
7. Good sex makes you crave your partner and not starbucks. You will save a fortune on not splurging on little things that make you happy for a brief moment. The knowledge that your cravings will be filled for hours at home will stop you from spending on little expenses through out the day.
6. Good sex makes you eat less. You will save thousands a year on lower food comsumption bills.
5. Good sex makes you want to plan for your future. It is so much easier to plan for a great future when you know what one aspect of your life will be.
4. Good sex is a great way to cut down on entertainemnt expenses. Do you really need the dinner, movie, and the perfect outfit?
3. Good sex is a vacation everytime. Do you really need to spend thousands seeing Mickey Mouse in his little red button shorts? Or would you rather see your mate without any pants on at all?
2. Great sex saves you hundreds on utility bills. You create your own heat in the winter and ice cubes are now much more exciting in the summer.
Tie for the number ONE reason...depending on if you are career minded or family minded.....
1. Great sex puts you in a different frame of mind. Your co-workers wonder if you have successfully gained a new promotion or if you know something that they don’t know. It will drive them nuts, putting you in a position to out perform them. They will spend their time worrying, why you have the confidence to get the job done.
or
1. Just the thought of you having sex will make your children run and hide. They can't ask you for money if they are hiding from you.
Top 10 reasons why sex is financially rewarding

My lazy ass........worked three jobs in high school. College was mostly scholarships, but I remained working two and sometimes three jobs to save $60,000 to start my first business at age 23. As a Domino's Pizza Franchisee, I operated one of the company's best stores earning 54 natinal awards over the next 13 years. Paying cash for each and every expense. I employed over 700 people at three different Domino's Pizza locations over the years. Sold the business in 1999. $740,000 .I also began and operated a catering business in Branson Missouri that catered to all the music shows. My lazy ass.......was a major part in winning the CMA Venue of the year for The Grand Palace. My services were used by Garth Brooks, Reba McIntire, Bill Cosby, The MAdrells, Charlie Daniels, Johnny Cash, Wayne Newton, etc.........Start up for businees was 2300. Sold for $120,000. Sports card shop was a hobby that turned into me employing three men to travel to card shows. The profit over three years was $210,000. The children's resale shop I opened with a friend was a complete diseaster. I ended up giving her my half of the business after a year, but still I still made a profit of 8 grand. The bar and restaurant I built was from 2000 and I sold in 2004 for 1.2 million. So you do the math. My lazy ass ......has made a living for the past 20 years plus have over 2 million to show for my efforts.
I owned and operated those businesses so I could have, raise, and support a large family. I set my own hours and I am proud to say I have never missed a dancing lesson, baseball game, school event, homework sessions, or first moment. My offices always had a nursery and I have never had my children left in the care of others.( Babysitters for dates with my husband , do not count.) I am blessed to be able to support my husband as a United State Marine. I was blessed to have him home most of the time. He was an important part in raising our children. When he was protecting our country I was with our children 24/7, when he was home, my lazy ass was working as much as possible.
My lazy ass has put dinner on our table 5 nights a week for over 20 years. My lazy ass has been a Girl Scout leader for over 18 years. I am an active member of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Muscular Dystrophy Association, P.T.O., Booster Club, and Marine Military Support Unit.
My children are active and excel in school. My children have been involved in soccer, basketball, football, volleyball, basketball, drama, wrestling, cheerleading, french club, german club, softball, scouting, dance, gymnastics, track, cross country, FFA, National Honor Society, etc.
Our oldest is in her third year of college and then off to law school. She is one of the top ten dancers in the United States and dances all over the world in her spare time.
Our second just completed her first year at KU in the engineering department. She is also on the Women's rowing team. Rock Chauk Jayhawk.
So the list goes. My lazy ass.........has raised happy, health children. I have been successful and failed at business. But, I proudly support my community with my time and funds. I have never owned a credit card and I have two loans in my life. I have never owed a cent to anyone, nor have I ever needed, too.
I beleive my life has been one of great strength,loyalty, laughter, and a yes a great deal of good sex. I deserve to have my world rocked. You only live once. I treasure every moment I have alone with my mate. He and I have made a contribution to the world in more ways than one. He defended our country and I defended our future. One day, when one, if not all of our seven children make the world a better place through their endevours......please remember their MOM and her lazy ass!!
I would proof read this and correct spelling, but I have to go to swimming lessons now,then school end parties at two of the kids classrooms as room mom. This afternoon is full of dancing lessons, bike riding, and one has a band try-out. My evening will be spent making 300 creme puffs for a friends party tomorrow evening. Please keep in mind, My lazy ass will be cooking dinner, reading and bathing the two babies. Helping the older three get last minute touches to their school finals and if all goes well....I will be getting my lazy ass laid!!

You are reading this woman's BLOG, but you complain that nobody wants to hear her life story?
Then why the crap are you reading her blog in the first place?
That's like buying Jimmy Carter's autobiography, taking it home, and then putting it down ten pages in saying, "I didn't want his whole life story!"
Man, use your head for something other than a hatrack.

Smart? I think not. After three comments, it can be turned into harrassment. The fact that a link posted by one has the word "rape" in it automatically turns it into sexual harrasment. The so called drawings, another harrassment. Think it isnt serious? First of all in the past year because of cyber stalking coming full force, they are cracking down on these people. Every comment, every IP is logged by the sites company... if they think they are smart they better think again and hope their lawyer is able to outsmart the ones going against them one day.
If they are on a schools computer, it wont be that hard to figure out who was using that one at that time...then it becomes another problem. his school, his parents, his family. If not, it becomes his respect and maturity to all the girls he wants to date in the future. Not exactly the brightest bulb in the box.
Point is to all of this. you have the power to stop them. He knows it, you now know it. Nobody else finds it amusing except the losers that came here for the same reason as they did.
Another humorous point? Its your pizzas those boys end up ordering when they sit at home with no female beside them reading articles trying to find some perversion to them.

My intent for the "Top 10" was to make people smile and hopefully see a new spin on a very old activity. I did not mean to upset anyone or to cause any problems. I justed wanted to make a few people grin.
Having said that..........thanks for making me feel good about more people in our society whom are looking out for their financial well being. I have had over 27,000 folks view my blog. Although, I have not contributed to anyones personal savings as of yet, I feel awesome that so many people are concerned and looking for ways to save a buck or two!!

"afloat"
"an ever"
Grammar is generally important when you decide to write for a living. I'd understand a proofreading error in a long and rambling post, but not in your tagline.
You mention in your profilic post of your life story thatyour daughter, well, here:
"She is one of the top ten dancers in the United States and dances all over the world in her spare time."
Exactly what does a blanket statement like this mean? That's quite a bit of bravado without any clarification.
Also, my personal review of the list is "disappointing", especially coming from a fark.com link. It't not your fault. I blame the fark submitter for not finding higher quality content. I predict a large dropoff in weekly readership.

Relax, man. Her site is not about grammar lessons. You can do that on your site. I know a guy who's worth tens of millions of dollars. I'd be surprised if he can spell his own name correctly. Don't sweat the small stuff.

I am the seventh of nine children. My parents are pretty far from being experts on 'personal finance,' and we're all OK, and they have enough money. It's not about money; that's just an excuse for this people. It's about an unwillingness to make sacrifices.

I'm a BIG fan of your list for several reasons, but chiefly because....well...I'm a guy!! Oh, and I like sex, thank you very much.
As to Farkers and our ilk, well, I'm not really sure if urbane applies as a descriptor, though it might to some. We generally like things that are catchy, fun, quirky, odd, weird, examples of people doing dumb stuff, examples of people doing cool stuff, examples of people doing amazing stuff, examples of people beating examples to death...
ANYWAY...I'm a father of two, a busy guy with two jobs (down from three) and yes, we do have sex. Frequently. I swear! (though, being a guy as I may have mentioned, I'm always looking for more!) So, I'll happily refute the claim that Farkers don't want kids, don't approve of large families, etc. My wife is one of 7, my Dad one of 3, I'm one of two (holding up the small-family end of the spectrum) and my mom is one of nine. So, if you can support your large, loving family...then DO IT!!! And, clearly, you are. With more than a little success.
So, ignore the haters, thank the supporters and keep on blogging.
Oh, and about the grammar and spell-check...well, it might be a good idea. But the best thing is to find your own voice, and write authentically. Write what you feel, what you want to say.
and dont worry about the punctuation e e cummings didnt think it was too important

9. Depends on the price of the hooker.
8. WHOOT! There goes 5 minutes...
7. I can crave my partner only so much; I can crave coffee all day long. (subject to human limitations and appetites, of course...)
6. Sex w/o Cool-Whip? Hershey's Chocolate Sauce? Sex isn't 0-calorie.
5. I'm planning on falling asleep just as soon as we're done; you can plan all on your own by yourself after I'm done. DONE!!
4. Porn to get into the mood isn't free.
3. I like to go on vacation to meet new people and experience new cultures. Let's go poly/open!!
2. See #5; batteries aren't cheap.
1. You'll smell like sex.

1. Unless you're careful, you'll wind up with even more rugrats, which will certainly increase your expenses.

to all of the hubby's out there who don't get enough from their wife, divorce her and fine one who does. there are plenty of women out there like this lady. and no you don't need pills, if your wife doesn't turn you on that's what bj's are for.

HMMMMMMMMMM! Never said or would ever begin to be selfless. I am all about me and my family! NO, I am not a republican. I tend to be a liberal democrat. I do vote for the best person for the seat, be that R or D or I. I do give of my time and money to others. And I never discuss religion, be it mine or others.

I found this article via Fark and am blown away. I'm thrilled that straight people with kids can even find the time for sex! I did find an article about "alpha mothers" that are ultra driven. I applaud your success but did you or your kids have time to breath? I hope you enjoy the link:
Yes, we had time to breath! I just made it a point that the kids should be able to experience their own interests. Unfortunately, their interests are mostly different from each others. I just didn't want them to be penalized by being a sibling of so many. Our only rule is that if you want to try or play something new, you have to stick it out a full season or sememster. HMMMMMM! Maybe that is why we have 12 musical instruments in the attic and only one is played. Got to love the drums!!

Please re read the list......doesn't say you have to be married. It does not refer to anyone but a mate. Some people's mates are men others women. ( Some, both ). Some mates are a few days others a few decades, and the lucky ones are for a life time.

Catering business was strictly off site. All business was done at customers location. No building, rent, utilities, etc........only investment was in silver service, chafing dishes, plates, glasses, utensils, etc..... business sold was strictly for customer base and clients. Domino's Pizza was 30 year leases, 10 year no competition clause with company, equipment, etc........

I think you should win the top ten contest! Can I ask your advice? How do you still have good sex after 7 kids?????
We date! ( each other ). He calls my cell and asks me out. Dresses up and even walks around to ring the doorbell. The kids give him a hard time about my curfew, where we are going, no drugs, no drinking and driving,etc.. He still holds my hand, opens car doors, rest his hand on my lower back to guide me through his world.
We make each other a priority. Foreplay can be a naughty grin or sentenced whispered while cooking dinner. A promise of what will come later. A movie kiss in passing while getting the daily stuff accomplished. A note left on my bathroom mirror that wakes my senses. The way he looks when he shares his past with the kids, is one of unconditional love, just makes me want him more.
We write down three new things we want to try and leave it for the other each week. You have to pick at least one. If the request keeps appearing, then you know you are doing something right. It becomes a part of our relations and we then move on to something else to add to the list. We never talk of the list, we just do it!
Timing isn't always on our side. We don't get to have all the moments we want to share together. We have learned to cherish the time we have and make the best of it. We have also learned to survive on 5 hours of sleep. That makes for more opportunity and no interruptions.
The secret to great sex is to be blunt, honest, laugh, be positive, adventerous, and be willing to trust your mate 100%. It isn't always perfect, but we are damn close!!
