Catie - "I ...Me in millions - thanks so much!<br /><br />Catie - "I don't think carefree was ever or is ever the way to approach money" I think you are dead on, but yeah, I miss it too. It is good it is gone, I'll be a healthier person, financially, but once and awhile I miss those days. Of course, it doesn't help how much prices have gone up. I used to blow money on books when paperbacks were $3.99. Now everything is $14.00 and up!Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14703479564503074258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7019112442705574172.post-68462180433956594362009-09-29T10:48:02.537-04:002009-09-29T10:48:02.537-04:00Being carefree about money is simply a cultural mi...Being carefree about money is simply a cultural mindset that America got into when credit became so easy. How many time have you read about how frugal the average millionaire is, or about a lottery winner that blew 4million bucks in 2 years?! I don't think carefree was ever or is ever the way to approach money (but I miss it too!). At the same time, there will come a day when you can walk into a bookstore and buy a few things without doing the math in your head!! Maybe you will never be carefree again in that blissful way, but when your house is built on your new solid foundation you will have, as psychsarah says, a new normal.Catienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7019112442705574172.post-84905544920200026142009-09-29T10:33:00.348-04:002009-09-29T10:33:00.348-04:00Great analogy.

How did we just go along, hoping for the best, with no cushion to fall back on? Craziness. I think you're right about things not going "back to normal". I think of it as a new normal, a better normal. I wish for the magic wand too, but your title says it all.psychsarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14787301469074167237noreply@blogger.com
