Saving Money Is for Winners
I’ve realized that I’m actually very lucky, in that I appear to be some kind of mutant: I really enjoy saving money. I get as much pleasure and satisfaction from having a decent sized savings account as I would from having a nice car or a designer purse. Actually, I don’t like purses, so I get more satisfaction from a savings account than I would from a purse.
And this is good, because it keeps me from getting into a mess like this person. I know that a lot of us, when we find ourselves with a chunk of change, decide to treat ourselves. It’s a common instinct. But man, she could have done so many constructive things with that money, instead of getting a car she ended up not being able to keep anyway.
