It’s important to foster this attitude with your children early in life so that they impart these values as they grow. My parents are both in their late 70’s and my father recently was diagnosed with diabetes. But a more active medical care solution may be required at some point, necessitating part or even full-time caregiving.

A few real life examples of revenge spending: English rock star Liam Gallagher (of bands Oasis and Beady Eye) had an affair with an American Journalist and fathered a child by her. At the time, I was working part time for about 8 hours a weekend, earning minimum wage. I wanted to buy a nice TV so I had to save up for it.

Needless to say, our relationship suffered, his health suffered and now he has a list of regrets about not being the father, husband, son, brother and friend he feels he should have been.

I currently work part-time from home, mostly behind a computer. I never really figured out what I want to be when I grow up so I’ve done a lot of different things. I live just outside of Richmond, VA with my husband, 18-year-old twin daughters, and our two dogs. I’m 52.
