Knowing Myself


I have read every book, article, and website I can find on saving money. I am always looking for new ideas to try. It has become an obsession to find tips I have not already heard. I am forced to be careful on the amount of unsolicited advice I give to others on this though. I ask myself if it matters to them that the local box store is not necessarily the best value for a purchase. What made me this way you ask? Well I went through a period in my life where money was an everyday struggle. Every waking hour was spent worrying about money. Eventually when the money woes were curbed, my deepest desire to prevent this from happening again in the future took over. So here I am the money tip collector.
The interesting thing about this is that money tips are not the only things I collect. I was born into a family of hoarders. Not exactly like the ones you see on those reality shows, but rather the kind that knows there is a problem. I am not sure if it helps or is a hindrance, but none the less the knowledge is there.
