I'll probably do a post on judicial borrowing at some point.<br/><br/>Of course, the whole idea with borrowing items is that you can "pay back" your friends later with more important items, such as the emotional support or the girl time that they might really enjoy. Thanks, jessi!

So often we think in terms of budgets or cutting costs, but without thinking of why we spend where we spend, and addressing the emotional need first, we will feel poor. Feeling rich has more to do with emotional wealth and feeling like all your whole-person needs are being met, then the income stream or # in the bank account. <br/><br/>One of my best friends convinces herself that she absolutely needs that purse, or those pair of pants: when surviving in a low-income /low-cost lifestyle: those hundred dollar emotional spends sure add up over time...even faster then the lattes!
