Spending is Not Saving
“I went to the grocery store and saved $68!” Have you ever said someting like that to your husband or friend? I have on numerous occasions. It’s a thrilling thing to get a great deal! Quite frankly, it’s one the reasons I love shopping so much! You could liken it to men and hunting. They hunt for animals, we hunt for bargains. It’s really the same concept…the thrill of the chase. It can be a lot of fun!

Desire
Remember how you desired a treat from the ice cream truck when you were a child?

You could almost taste the sweet ice cream as the truck rumbled past.
