    Be more mindful
    Plan more wisely 
    Experiences not material 

    (Not such a great start as Daughter's 18th birthday present that I said I'd pay for in full is twice the price I anticipated 🙈 on the other hand its much cheaper than paying for my Son's driving lessons that he had for his 18th)
