So true. Is it not funny that we WANT everything fast and easy?
But really look at it, ever been in line at the store and seeing the 5 custmers in front , get their card, what way does it go in the machine , oh what account, which pin , oh get my card, Woops that didnt work lets try again. So for a simply hand them $ and get change you took 3-5 min instead of one min. What did you save?
Why is it so hard to keep what you need, if you need more wait for it. I lived that way for the first 20yrs of my life. I than got sucked into there system. 5yrs ago I got sick of it, I now alway carry a couple of hundred ( just in case) I shop once a week for all the main, try my best to think about a purchase before hand. I ended up finding out I didnt really need it, or you know what it can wait until its on sale.
The best thing is I found that I gained about 10hrs a week in not running around, I didnt need half of which I use to buy. Life is just plain less stressful and a lot cheaper.
