One of the basics in money management is simply staying organized.
It is still a myth who is generally more organized! Men or women?
I have no desire to start a domestic war here but we're just making conversation about life, and bravo, if we end up learning something new about ourselves.
It is said that women shop emotionally; albeit, 'I've got to have that dress' as if your life depended on it, huh!
Well, well, men are not off the hook either because we will spontaneously buy a gadget whether we actually need it or not. Some of us often say: 've got to have that girl' as though our existence depended on "having her."
Methinks, the sense of not having absolute control drives this characteristic; but, it is said that you can only stumble if you are moving, so, why not be still until we are absolutely sure we really 'got to have it,' whatever it is. Huh!
Anyway, let whatever it is that you've got to have bring happiness to you.
