It will be gone forever. Many relationships are shattered because of money. However, it is because of the money that we work full time.

Basically when you are faced with something you want to buy you first have to decide if the item is one of four things. It either has to add joy, beauty, meaning or usefulness to your life. The next thing I do (because sometimes ‘Joy’ will win out on its own and its not always the best reason) is I consider the life of the item I am considering purchasing.<br /><br />An example from “My Monastery is a Minivan,” by Denise Roy that I was reading a review about recently. In it Roy thinks she needs new candleholders. First she imagines spending time shopping to find them, followed by having to clean them, and then, years down the road, packing them in the giveaway box. She shirks the purchase, which is just as well because she soon rediscovers the heirloom candleholders that are packed away right in her own home. This idea can even be used in reverse, think about what you bought last season, or what you might have in storage. <br /><br />KCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-230263836586840489.post-51378882891598851792011-08-10T16:08:43.290+10:002011-08-10T16:08:43.290+10:00None of them want to pay taxes again....

I have to agree that some fee charges are out of control but I’m not sure if ‘suing’ the banks is the answer. <br />Everyone knows there are fees for late payments and overdrawing an account, the money has to come from somewhere. You don’t see Coles or Safeway letting you take your weekly groceries with the promise to pay it back on pay day. However, if they did I’m sure their fees would equal the banks. <br />Then again, is mass media and taking legal action the best way to fix the problem? <br /><br />I’m afraid I’m going to have to take a seat on that all too familiar fence and announce I'm Switzerland. There are equally strong points on both sides and I am sure that the best course for a better result may only appear with hindsight. <br /><br />KathrynKathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09164624896430925374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-230263836586840489.post-19849464096361923392010-05-21T09:57:11.354+10:002010-05-21T09:57:11.354+10:00Hi Guys, sorry Caren but I'm also with Mick.

I was talking about this with my friends last night and the general feeling was that we all understand there are fees when we overdraw but our biggest problem was that the bank lets us use EFTPOS and overdraw and then charges us a huge amount for them letting us overdraw without knowing it. So I think sue the bank and see how it goes.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09774783296870474031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-230263836586840489.post-17005542040354995692010-05-20T14:34:00.581+10:002010-05-20T14:34:00.581+10:00Banks are hardly up front about anything!
