Money

It's nice to have a reasonable amount of money coming in again. Whenever we're both working & making a decent living, we spend it on dumb things. We really need to break that habit.

Just because you have more money doesn't mean you can go crazy spending it. When your cup is totally full, that's when you have to be most careful carrying it. Keep everything level & steady, and you'll be fine; but if you don't watch what you're doing, you'll lose what you have.

But that's the trap we keep getting into. When we have more money, we should be SAVING a bunch of it rather than spending it because it's there. I've always had that problem. If the money was there, chances are I'd spend it. God help me if I got paid any other time besides right before the day all the rent & bills were due.

So, note to self: Carry the cup carefully, and I won't lose money like I usually do.
