I remember thinking about how wonderful it would be to not have to worry about whether we had enough to pay for the propane gas to heat our home. Setting goals and reaching them continues to be enriching and satisfying to me. I remember going through magazines and catalogs picking out the things I would have when we had money.

My grandchildren’s other set of grandparents are just one example. She lost both of her jobs in the course of a month, and they consequently couldn’t meet the mortgage payments on their almost new home as a result. The pleasure of accomplishment you get in setting and meeting a goal. Enjoy living, not spending.
