From My Mother


You may think this is an odd place to talk about my mother, but there is a connection. My mother just recently passed away, and I’m remembering many of the things she taught me – some of which were about money.
·         Always buy good shoes.  Your feet are your foundation and they need to last a lifetime. She also thought they should look good!
·         Make it if you can.  It’s less expensive, and you get to be creative and build relationships if you do it with others.
·         Go camping.  It’s a good way to build family memories and is affordable.  
·         Save a little, and live well within your means.
·         Pay cash.
·         Spend only what you have on hand.
·         Take time for people, and always have enough around the house to feed whoever shows up. No need to go out.
·         Be a host - do not entertain
Now that I’m older and wiser I understand what she was talking about.
