Best gift

The best gifts I ever got was Christmas when I was about 4 years old. I got a lionel train set and a racing car set. It was special because I never received anything after that my mother had a nervous breakdown and never got anything else for Christmas or my birthday.

It’s what I need

Write about your approach to budgeting.

I only buy what I need very rarely do I buy something just for fun. When I was younger I didn’t save much, then I got married and never saved money. Divorced and older I save and invest which is why I only buy what I need. One other way I help my budget is to pick days that I don’t spend money it can be hard but I save money that way.

Valentines

I went shopping today a the grocery store not Walmart and it was full. They had the isles block with all kinds of valentines and flowers which makes it hard to navigate the store. I ask a lady why it was so packed with people and she replied it was probably men getting valentines for there loves. I got to thinking about it and why would someone wait til the day to buy something that in my opinion does not express anything think but I like you enough to spend money on you. I thought proving how I feel about someone should be expressed all the time not a day marketing said it should be. Love is an emotion not a gift, I maybe wrong but that’s how I feel.
