Now we’re not spending as much because we want the money to go to other things. In the past, we couldn’t spend as much because we had more bills than money. The bills (debts!) were like a giant slurping maw. " ---You know these circumstances really show one of life's greatest ironies. Like how it's funny how when you're "poor" you're relatively happier, while when you're "rich," you don't even know how to be happy and content. This circumstance in your post however points out the fact that when you don't have money, you want to spend on things you think you need. But then when you have the money, you just know that you can do without the things you were wishing for when you had none. I do agree though, that it's far better to have the option when it comes to finances. It's a little comforting actually to know that you've been handling your money well enough that you've got some extra. :) Great post. :) More power! “It’s also an interesting change from how things were for us just a few years ago.
