    She is ‘normal’ being $10,000 in credit card debt.
    Don’t be normal.
    Get $1000 emergency fund.
    Pay off all credit card debt.
    Save 6 months emergency fund.
    Save for retirement and pay off house.
    Retire rich.
    Don’t be normal. Be exceptional.

    But I HAD to buy it!
    It was “ON SALE”, and when it is “ON SALE”, you MUST buy it!

    Guess I’m lucky, nearest “mall” is 60 mi away by land or $17 round trip toll over the Chesapeake Bay. Bah Humbug !

    Take control of what you can. Unfortunately the economy, the way politicians are owned by special interest you can’t stop so easily.

    We don’t buy Christmas gifts anymore. Every year we fiind someone in need, usually a single mom who can’t buy presents for her children and anonymously give money.
    This year we were presented with an opportunity when we got someone else’s electric bill. We opened it by mistake, thinking it was ours. Enclosed was a notice that their electricity was going to be cut off in a few days due to nonpayment. We made the payment for them plus an extra $100 to give them some breathing room. We happened to drive by their house a few days ago on our way to visit some friends, and they had a beautiful Christmas-themed “Thank You” in their window.

    You seem to be interested in making others live your life your way.

    Could have been worse. You could have stayed up late thinking of a new gag.

    Common sense Flow Chart:
    Do you need it, or just want it?
    How much do you need it or want it?
    Will you use it? Y/N
    How much will you use it? Y/N
    Is it worth what you are paying for it? Y/N
    Ask yourself these questions before you buy.
