Slow that money roll

In the last few years, Ive gotten pretty good at sensing when its time to absolutely halt spending and making that mother stretch.

Ive been getting a gut feeling lately that is time to halt..

Naturally, this week's horrorscope sez:

The time has come to get a bit more serious about your financial obligations, both to yourself and to other people. The sun's change of sign in midweek will force you to admit that your money situation is not as good as it should be and that if you are going to have a comfortable future, you will have to make far-reaching decisions about what you own, earn and save.

My plan was to get everything Ive planned to buy now, and stop when February comes around and start saving like a narcoleptic bear before winter..

Easier said than done. There's always more you want to buy.

Man, I gotta put aside some cash.

I dont think the best time to decide to save is when you dont have any money.

The times when 20 bux felt like a fortune, it became less hard and more fruitful to delay and deny any purchases.

I didnt have any money anyway. :-)

Now that Im working, its harder to fool myself there are no resources. But if Ive learned anything over the last few years, is to get away from the idea that money itself will cure everything.

So, since Ive bought almost everything I wanted, and almost everything i need can be had on the cheap, just gotta slow my roll and remind myself the differences between need and want ....

Money and life is about time and distance.
