Do you have anything that you treasure so much and wish to keep forever?

That's so funny you do the same thing as me. I'm a frugal person by nature and don't like to let anything go to waste, especially beauty supplies. If I have a favorite eye cream, then I'll snip the end and stick my finger all the way into the tube to scrape out the last bit. I swear, I do that all the time. I like your attitude. It's not a bad thing to do. I'm sure you get some critisizm for being frugal and maybe you don't do it to save money. But, that's one of the good side effects of using something up. As you say, though, sometimes I wish that I could have my cake and eat it, too. Keep the cream, but then use it up, too. But, then it's gone and it's expensive to replace. No fun! Be well.

Yes! I was just telling my friend yesterday how I do something like that! For me, I think it is anxiety that I will not have enough money to buy more later. For example, my friend's mother is a dietician and I go to her to get consultation on nutrition and vitamins. Something came up that she asked me if I had any Magnesium tablets. I said Yes. She asked where I got them. I said "From YOU about a year ago!" She asked why I hadn't finished taking them, and I said that it was getting near the end of the bottle and I was afraid to finish them becasue I didn't know if I'd have money to get more! Isn't that strange? What's the difference if I used the last 5 pills and didn't have anymore, OR if I left the last 5 pills there and didn't take them anyway?? Another thing is body creams and scented powder and perfumes. I have so many that are not empty but I won't finish them, and I won't throw them away either. I know it must have something to do with being afraid I won't be able to get more. It's understandable when an item is discontinued and I love the smell of it and want to keep it, but that is not the case with everything. How about you? Do you find yourself short on money most of the time and only have enough for the necessities and when you get something special you feel the need to make it last forever?

I have my memories that i treasure so much. There are material things too but i will treasure my loved ones more than these things. when i die one day, i will not be able to bring them with me, right... but if am a better person, loving someone and my doings have changed a person's life... it will be more meaningful.

Well, my answer isn't quite like yours, lol. That's interesting, though. I guess I would only treasure my memories. They have made me who I am today. I like looking back at the few good things that made me happy. And I can only hope that the bad memories will go away someday and be replaced with more good ones.

My life! Plain and simple(^^,)
