Default Re: The problem with being budget minded is other people.

lol.... this thread is kinda funny and super true... we are the most budget minded (and health oriented) people in our families and we get all kinds of flack from all quarters.... like boe said " I can't get anything through their heads, but I REFUSE to shell out a nickel to them."
they might not like that we have more money but that's too bad... they could have money too if they worked at it.... if and when they come to us and ask we would love to help out but so far most efforts haven't worked....
one of the few things that has been ok, after some time and persistance, was picking up something they wanted from a yard sale.... at first, they were all resistant in some way but they've all come around and so that's great... and everything we pick up for cheap is one less thing they will pay retail for... we can't do everything but it is nice to be able to help in this small way...
