I am a money saver. Hubby, is a money spender. I can stick to a budget. Hubby is good at making them.....but not so good at sticking to them. Yes, it does sometimes cause conflicts but usually we can talk it out and come to an agreement. There was one experience we had when I was pregnant with Elizabeth, that had us both close to tears it was such a gesture of kindess. We were going grocery shopping and we only had $150.00. I was determined we were going to stick to it and make our choices carefully. We even brought along a calculator. All through the store we were deciding if we really needed this item or that item or if the item could wait until the next shopping trip. Without our realizing it, there was a shopper who had seen us doing this a few times and had overheard our conversations. We were about half way through the store when she approached us. "Excuse me," she said, "but I couldn't help but notice how closely you were watching your money and I would like to give you this." In her hand she held a $20.00 bill. John and I looked at each other and I started to refuse because we did have money. "Please," she said as she put the bill in my hand, "it would make me feel better if you take it. Especially as you are pregnant and have kids to feed." Then she went on to say that she knew $20.00 didn't go far, but it would help us buy a few extra little things that were needed for the kids. John and I looked at each other then and our eyes were all misty and we thanked her profusely and told her if we ever ran into her again we would like to pay her back. She said, "Who knows, maybe someday you can, but you have made me feel better today." Then she turned and walked away. I again turned to look at John and he looked at me and we stood there for a few moments completely overwhelmed with the kindness we had just experienced. I still to this day look for that lady whenever we go to the store.
