They say it is like a muscle, you need to use it to strengthen it. I say you should pick your battles.
Today I left work 30 minutes early (I mis-timed my swim and got in to work 30 minutes early). This got me on the road before the worst of the traffic giving me time to do some returns. I started at Target where I had one return and did not have to wait long because the nice guy was applying for a credit card and thought it may be a while (I only had one item). As we were waiting for the cashier to finish with the lady before us he was talking about being excited for his first card. He asked what they thought his limit would be.
I explained that it depended on his credit and such. He hoped it would be $500, he was ready for a shopping spree (who knows where this is going?). I just could not hold my tongue. I told him that he should not spend more then he could pay off in one month. This did nothing to reign in his excitement as he assured me he had a decent paying job. I let it drop and said a prayer for his future finances.
Then I went to one of my favorite stores, Bed Bath And Beyond. What cook can't spend LOTS of time and money there? I did my return and after a quick look around I left. With out buying anything. And I soo wanted to!
