Impulsive and impatience

"We are impulsive, we are impatient and, most important of all, we fund our impulsiveness and impatience with lots and lots of spending."

You know who else knows this? Stores. There's a very good and profitable reason why tabloids and candy bars are at the checkout aisles. Anywhere you go, you'll also likely see small items by the register like trinkets or votive candles or whatever.

Frugal spending is an art that requires practice.

Governmental entities have access to a piggy bank that is filled by the taxpayers. It gets filled anytime they feel it is necessary to raise additional money in the form of a tax rate increase. This takes money out of your piggy bank and puts it into their piggy bank. The taxpayer will go without before a taxing entity goes without. How is this practicing frugal spending? Living within one's means is a difficult task when one has a bottomless piggy bank.

Don't let this new high school complex become the replacement for the tabloids and candy bars at the checkout aisle!
