Rachel and her money

Rachel cannot save money.

Rachel will not save money.

In her mind it works like this: “What’s the point of even having money if you’re not going to spend it?”

Her unofficial motto is: “I have money so let’s go to the store.”

I try to tell her, “Here's a great idea: When you get money, save it. And keep saving it as you get it. Then you will be able to buy something much bigger and better!”

My words go in one ear and out the other…sometimes pausing just long enough to produce a slight chuckle.

So Rachel and I took a trip to Best Buy because there was some money laying around in her pocket and it needed to be spent, pronto!
