If you would just spend and spend impulsively, nothing will happen to you in the future, and probably have financial problems as well.

Often, they do not have the personality type which tends to thrift and saving. It takes all sorts, of course, but Mr. Mitchell obviously went too far.

If you are not earning much at the moment, then I presume you are mostly at home doing cooking, housework, reorganising etc. or else trying to develop an income. I.e., you too are spending time on home support activities, in which case you should factor it in to your calculations and enjoy your treats (not too many sweets, though). -SGKoRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11163824542900298686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577940722599896279.post-662955896482444392010-08-27T21:36:38.680+01:002010-08-27T21:36:38.680+01:00Sorry for the delayed response; have been having p...Sorry for the delayed response; have been having problems replying to comments.

I think there's a lot to be said about how literary examples of women dealing with (or not dealing with) finances affect modern views of how women should approach money. As this blog and others show, dealing competently with financial matters doesn't make a woman a cold-hearted gold-digger, but I think there's a stigma there that there isn't for men.Jianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08696536923725417542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577940722599896279.post-28408306666879449772010-02-23T08:58:56.851+00:002010-02-23T08:58:56.851+00:00I think you're right - it is worth a try.
