Choosing To Ignore It …

April 21st, 2008 at 03:41 pm

Observed today on a sticker - “I know the difference between right and wrong, but I choose to ignore it.

When it comes to finances, I have learned a lot about what is right and wrong. I hope I do not EVER choose to ignore it!

I have learned that:

* Saving money is right and that spending all of my money is wrong
* Having an emergency fund for emergencies is right and using a credit card for emergencies is wrong
* Giving to worthy causes and individuals is right and not giving at all is dead wrong
* Paying cash for purchases is right and paying on payments is wrong
* Including your spouse in the budgeting process is right and not including them is wrong
* Calling our money “ours” is right and our money “mine” and “yours” is wrong
* Working together as husband and wife toward common financial goals is right and working separately is wrong
* Having medical and life insurance is right and not having this insurance is wrong
* Dealing with one's financial situation is right and just throwing up one's hands and declaring bankruptcy is wrong
* Developing a plan and following it is right and handing one's financial mess over to rip-off credit counseling without changing one's spending behavior is wrong
* Facing one's finances is right and choosing to ignore it is plain wrong

I would love to hear some other truths you have learned as you have dealt with your finances!
