Just a small soap box moment. I went to a seminar on "How to Save on Groceries" last Wednesday. Coupons- which I rarely use. Guess I can try them and see if they can lower my already low grocery bill- can't beat homemade.
Anyway, soap box- The presenter made the comment, "The more you spend the more you save." NO! The more you spend the more you spend! With the "spend so you can save" philosophy you can "save" yourself right into a whole lot of debt if you're not careful. Let's define some money terms: Getting paid to do work is called Earning, keeping your money is called Saving, giving it away- even for a "great deal"- is called Spending. We do all three, but one is not to be confused as another. That is all.
