An Irishman's Philosophy
There
are only two things to worry about:
Either you are well or
you are sick.
If you are sick,
Then there are only two things to worry about:
Either you will get well
or you will die.
If you get well,
Then there are only two things to worry about:
Either you will go to
heaven or hell.
If you go to heaven,
there is nothing to worry about.
But if you go to hell,
You'll be so damn busy
shaking hands with friends
You won't have time to worry!

A Very Poor Man Lived With His Wife
A very poor man lived with his wife.
One day, his wife, who had very long hair asked him to buy her a comb for her hair to grow well and to be well-groomed.
The man felt very sorry and said no. He explained that he did not even have enough money to fix the strap of his watch he had just broken. She did not insist on her request.
The man went to work and passed by a watch shop, sold his damaged watch at a low price and went to buy a comb for his wife.
He came home in the evening with the comb in his hand ready to give to his wife.
He was surprised when he saw his wife with a very short haircut.
She had sold her hair and was holding a new watch band.
Tears flowed simultaneously from their eyes, not for the futility of their actions, but for the reciprocity of their love.
Moral - To love is nothing, to be loved is something but to love and to be loved by the one you love, that is everything.

52 Week Money Challenge - Save $1,400 in 2013 painlessly
I am trying this out on our Christmas Club Account this year.
I just set a reminder on my calendar for every Monday to transfer funds.
Now we’ll just have to decide what to splurge our new-found $1,400 on at the end of the year…
