This post was born out of Ruth’s post on Metacognition in Personal Finance that she wrote last week. In it, Ruth shares:
“I know that for all of those years when I maintained and deepened our levels of debt, I wasn’t using metacognition at all. I definitely did as Amy did. When times were extra good financially, I felt a giddy compulsion to spend that extra. I also spent more when things were extra busy. And I spent more when I felt extra anxious about something. I spent more in accordance with bursts of extra love too – especially when it came to one of our children – and at times of celebration.”

How do you eat an elephant? one bite at a time…..
I’m getting tired of elephant. 🙂
Sometimes, the excuse we make is unreasonable. So, we’d better assess whether what we are about to spend is really worth it.
In my experience, I’ve found that USUALLY the excuse I make is unreasonable. 🙂
