Am I Obsessed With Saving Money?

@nwando

God bless you for this thread, It  sounds exactly as if  I posted it.
I just got my own Camera phone two weeks ago and I am also waiting for the cost of Plasma TVs to go down!
In all my years of working, I have never bought a 'tear rubber'(New car), although that must change this year, I am tired of this Cotonou runs

I go on vacation regularly though (just like you!) and I am planning another one for this summer.


I am glad to hear of your contribution to other people's lives, I am also  sensitive to needs of people around me and there is hardly a month without reaching out to someone.

I do not think you are stingy like some people have pointed out, I have neighbours who drive flashy cars and will never use their Generators to pump water for the use of everybody anytime there is a prolonged power shortage despite the fact that they run their generators constantly for their own personal comfort but they will be the first to start storing up water whenever 'stingy' people like me decide to do it!

This  example is just to show that many seemingly 'generous' people will not  spare a dime unless it on themselves.

whao, i admire u nwando. I'm not 2good at saving. But I'm going to start . I'm going to discipline maself

@ nwando. you are a gem. i always had you as one of my all time favourite here and your stock value just increased with this powerful write up.

what most people don't realize is that the jone's they are trying to keep up with get these things free.

i admit i spend but mostly on making people around me happy and having comfortable lives.

however i don't joke with where i sleep so i wont compromise on the hotel and travel bills.

life is better being a wise woman. it is wisdom not to spend what you can't earn.
