First, a joke:
You know, I had a great childhood. My dad used to put me in tires and roll me down hills.
Those were Goodyears…
(Ollie, grab your tire — we gotta go!)
And now, a plea:
Please remind someone who could use it, “making a purchase does not automatically translate to “saving” money.
The following statement in certain contexts just grinds my gears:
“The doohickey was on sale, so we saved 20%!”
First, spending money is the complete opposite of saving money.
If you can go broke by “saving,” you ain’t saving!
Second, unless you wrangle that 20% that wasn’t spent on the doohickey and send it directly to an account that will shelter those funds for some purpose in the future, exactly ZERO acts of “saving” have taken place.
Last, but certainly not least, the only people who benefit from the classic buy-3-get-1-free tire promotions are tricyclists — especially if they are for Goodyears 😉
As always, feel welcome to drop a note to hello@leewayplanning.com.
Thanks for your time and may you have a swell rest of the day!
Sincerely,
Cody L. Ward
P.S. Spending money is awesome and we should all definitely keep doing it. We just shouldn’t pee on Judge Judy’s leg and tell her it’s only raining 😁
