Many years ago when my children were young and the house was upside down, my neighbours mother told me to Make the beds, do the dishes and your housework is done.

Life always has a fork in the road. What ever road you take do not look back as there is another ahead. If you say I should have taken the other you will be miserable because you do not know that you would be better off. So enjoy the roads you have taken and enjoy life for what choices you have made.

The best way to save is:- divide your spending into three columns.
Have to $. Need to $. Left over $$.
Have to, are all expenses that are non negotiable. ie:- rent, or mortgage, power, reg. Ins. Rates. Borrowings. Med. ins.

Need to:- food, fuel, medical, clothing etc.
Daily or weekly unknowns.

If by then your estimated budget has anything left over, put it into the third column, and save it. Amazingly it mounts up overtime.
My niece did this, and saved enough in 2 years, to pay me back for the car I sold her and bought a new sofa with the remainder.

A piece of advice from my dear departed Mum "Love all, trust a few, but always paddle your own canoe".

My Grandmothers advice when I was a child
When you get up in the morning have a good long look in the mirror and when you think you are perfect only then will you be able to judge others
She then said but that day will never come , think about it
