One of my weaknesses is books and now a days, since I really do not have space to store new ones till I go through my annual culling exercise, I use the wishlist option in online stores. Like G I often delete items there. Your own wisdom by hindsight having been on both sides is how most people learn. Try telling them that and they will not listen. Overconfidence, once again a trait subliminally instilled by our media is the cause for many such problems.Rummuserhttp://www.rummuser.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3599918867507699918.post-66466724288702572332014-10-03T21:43:07.985-05:002014-10-03T21:43:07.985-05:00Your post reminds me of a slogan by a credit union...Your post reminds me of a slogan by a credit union years ago, "Ten percent of what you earn is yours to keep!" Andy and I were savers and we probably saved more than ten percent.

Marketing folks hate that but it is probably the best thing to do to save money.

I keep a little notebook for lists of grocery needs and general items. At the pack is a page for the wish list. I regularly list items that interest me, but need further exploration or saving. It is amazing how often I cross things off several months later, because I realise I no longer have an interest in the item or that it would not be worth the money. Sometimes I laugh and call it my money saving page!Grannymarhttp://grannymar.com/noreply@blogger.com
