But yeah, we all go through such times, and it sure does makes sense then! I remember the times when I was in Blore and shopping at commercial street I used to haggle for every penny's worth and even worse if they did agree to the price I suggested it would be as though I was bereft of my victory cos that means the price must have been lower than what i had proposed anyways.Well...thats me! And yeah admiration for people who give away unselfishly for the happiness of others.I know of people in my church, who buy clothes and stuff from thrift stores, not because they can't afford otherwise, but because they choose to do so to give an extra dollar or two for missionaries around the world. That just amazes me, the priorities and the choices people make ! Likewise I just cannot fathom, for the life of me how my parents pulled through with 3 girls. They just did it ! And all I pray is that in the long run I am half as good as they were!</I>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8700519.post-1123566105982927462005-08-08T22:41:00.000-07:002005-08-08T22:41:00.000-07:00Mach, a good post indeed.

We will all learn to spend wisely when our kids cry for a playstation or a nike shoe, when we are already saving for his education at harvard.Arunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12341313080780036858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8700519.post-1123497068000264712005-08-08T03:31:00.000-07:002005-08-08T03:31:00.000-07:00I think its just in the initial phases after getti...I think its just in the initial phases after getting the first job that we become spendthrifts. That was the case with me but I have started using my very limited business acumen :) and try my best to save some money now.Praveenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17314434314476752992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8700519.post-1123433842826493652005-08-07T09:57:00.000-07:002005-08-07T09:57:00.000-07:00After scrimping and saving on pocket money, we ten...After scrimping and saving on pocket money, we tend to go berserk when we first start earning.I guess it is a passing phase and you soon prioritise you wants, necessities and that occasional luxury after a couple of months.It's those first baby steps as an earning individual which are shaky in money management. Though provoking post this. What beats me as you pointed out is how some people can manage money so well while others who earn more cannot.silverinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16474136215458639419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8700519.post-1123405653903526162005-08-07T02:07:00.000-07:002005-08-07T02:07:00.000-07:00hmm.. which is actually true.. coz there is a diff...hmm.. which is actually true.. coz there is a difference btn spending for a basic need and spending for a luxury item.. whn one starts earning money, i think he settles for a necessity item rather than a luxury item :-))Sujithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13378244335263949308noreply@blogger.com
