  I am a skeptical person. Don’t tell me about how you believe in astrology, homeopathy, or healing crystals. I won’t buy your damn essential oils, Janet, or your hideous tights for that matter. I’ll crouch in the corner of the room and hiss if forced to be near anything that’s been within a mile…

The ONE Question That Reshaped How I Look At Money

August 4, 2016

This post may contain affiliate links that help keep the blog running. Check out my disclosure to learn more.

  I used to not pay much attention to how I spent money. If I had money, I spent it. If I didn’t have money, I didn’t spend it. I didn’t pay any attention to what I bought beyond whatever flashy thing happened to be in front of me at the moment. Savings? Forget it….
