Some evening when you have a spare moment, get out your old
checkbook registers and read through the entries. You may find it
interesting and perhaps somewhat startling, to discover just how the
money you've earned has been spent.
The entries will read like a family history book. They chronicle every
major event----births, deaths, and illnesses--and quite accurately reflect
your tastes, habits, and interests.
They record your vacations, travels, and other moves. They also tell
much about how expensively you dress or how extravagantly you eat.
The total spent in each category will pinpoint the things that make the
greatest demands on your income--either because of need or by choice.
This was very interesting to me, so I looked thru a couple check registers.
Very much a eye opener.... Danny :+}
