My parents were children of the depression and needless to say had a great sense of value and pension for saving...everything! I can't tell you how many cans of corn, variety of beans, green beans, beets and manwich I have had to purge from my cabinet since their deaths in 2002.
My mother would always buy a can or 2 just to be on the safe side. I must admit, that I am a quite spoiled little girl. I really had no concept on shopping and had to ween myself from the habit when I began living alone. While I had the canned food comfort purchase down to a science, I totally missed the saving, budget, finance inheritance. How does that happen, I mean I am a farely intellingent, at times operating in the parameters of caveman and idiot savant, but I have not been sucessful at budgeting and taking care of my money. I mean I have literally misplaced $20, over spent it, given it to the police, children, pets, etc.
So here I am in the wee hours of the morning typing away, and working on a strategy for facelifting my finance saavy. I have read several books but developing a plan and implementing it seems unweildy when in crisis mode.
So fix the crisis by any means necessary then apply corrective action, right?
