To Save or To Spend

I’m so grateful to be part of the esteemed group of writers and thinkers that make up the Pointless Overthinking blog.

Here’s my contribution to that blog this week: https://pointlessoverthinking.com/2021/11/10/saving-it-up/

  1. Wonderful post, Wynne. Delayed gratification can be a good thing and it’s nice to see your daughter exercise this. A sure sign of maturity!

    I do the same when I get a plate of food. For example, I eat the mashed potatoes and then the vegetables and save the juicy steak or shrimp for last. 😆

    I hear you though about the need for a balance and not saving things for when it’s too late (sorry to hear about your colleague). As I get older, I do still save for a rainy day but also make sure to set aside some budget for instant gratification (eg an annual trip with my family or a nice meal out from time to time). Life is too short to delay too much too.

    1. I do that with a plate of food too! Funny!

      I love that it seems from your weekend posts that you often do some intentional trip/activity/outing with T every weekend. That’s so inspirational to me about experiences and time to enjoy our young kids…or at least try! 🙂

  2. Perhaps it was my upbringing growing up below the poverty line, but I have never been one to save things for a “special” day. In my home my family eats off the beautiful Waterford plates, and glasses, make gourmet meals, go on dream vacations, and use the expensive toiletries as life is special and every day is worth celebrating. To me this is a form of self love, and to save for a “special” moment is setting a false bar for oneself….
