Are You Sick of Being Blasted About Money?

I think that I am qualified to talk about this. Anyone

who has money, needs money or uses money is!
We are being blasted about money! Everywhere you look. go , see and almost anyone you talk to is obsessed about money.

Did you see the cost of gas? Did you hear that ad on T.V. ? Have you tried the coupon for this restaurant? Come to this grocery store we are cheaper, we double coupons! We have discounts, sales and ad over"ites" !

So how do you sort through it all? I say just do what you used to do and add what you really need a little at a time. You do not have to let this world wide obsession confuse and stress you out. Ask yourself some key questions.

Do I/we really need this? Want it? Will we use it?

How about this question.....CAN I AFFORD IT? Even if it is on sale and much less expensive does not mean you should run out and purchase everything you need , want, or feel you might miss out on.

Being frugal is important in these economic times. But, being smart about frugality is equally important. Make wise decisions. Think about purchases. Think about it all the way down to the cost of one pound of cheese. Re-think absolutely everything! From interest rates, gas, and groceries , to the cost of entertainment, housing, and clothing.

These are just some thoughts this morning. I am sitting in a waiting room waiting for one of my kiddos to come out of surgery with the lobby t.v. on blasting me with money related issues.

Have a great day!
