Why we spend?
I was thinking about this the other day in regards to my spending and debt. Has anyone read anything good related to why they spend in the way they do. I dont like to abdicate my responsibility to my childhood. But any resources that you can think of?
Life of a ‘soon to be’ reformed fritterer
