I've seen people trying to sell used Suisse Mocha tins at the flea market. Now that is sad.
I'm not very good with money myself (that's one of those areas I REALLY need to work on) so it would be too traumatic for me to agonize over every cent...it's just not worth it in my book.
(My sister was appalled recently when I told her that I don't know what I pay for gas, if I need gas I just go the nearest Amoco and use my card to buy gas, it costs what it costs.)I live in the city and whenever we replace a piece of furniture we always just set it by the dumpster in the alley and zip, it's gone overnight. Our old furniture is probably decorating every cardboard-box-home in town. I don't mind that, I hate seeing people that are even more poor than me. I don't give money to the panhandlers because I can barely afford my own cigarettes, it's getting more and more expensive to kill yourself these days. But if I see someone holding a sign that says "Hungry" or "Will work for food", I go to McDonald's and buy one of those Supersize meal things (that'll fatten you up) and drive back and give it to the guy. I don't like to see anybody go hungry.
Okay I'm just rambling now to avoid doing anything productive. A favorite past-time...
