" And I don't have to settle anymore."

I never settle for anything less then what I want. I have always been that way. Also, I never give up. I am like a terminator, at least that's what T says. I know I was through a long marriage that ended bad, but now it's time for me to go back to m original ways. And never look back.

I think this relates to me in my working career. I never settle for what I currently have. I'm never satisfied, and always on the lookout for the 'next' better job. Even though it may take me a few years to jump to another position, I surely am not settling for what I have.

Oh Sarah... You know I've been like this.. Probably, that is another reason for the downfall... I'd never settled or compromised... I still find it tough to compromise.. Result: I failed to achieve.. I used to be proud of my nature... But now, it feels as if I was wrong... Maybe, I'm still wrong... Maybe nothing is never gonna be right... :-(

I don't settle.....can't. Even if it's something I want or need....if I can't afford it right away I save up to buy just exactly what I want. If I can't have what I want.....then nope.....don't want it at all!

You are a person who will not take no for an answer.You have a high confidence level which doesn't seem to be knocked down ver often Nothing wrong with that! I am not like that! Alot of the times! I like to give up easy when it comes to things,when my patience is worn thin or my confidence gets shot down.I used to not even try when I was young. You go girl!

Yes I do settle I have to settle some times yes a few dollars more you say but those few dollars more goes along way at least for me it makes a huge difference. That extra money means leads baby food or less diapers because I wanted the best. I settle for the cheap stuff that doesn't mean they aren't just as hood or better then the more extensive one. But that is just food wise.

yes getting what you want is good, knowing what you want is unreasonable is important too. I am not talking about you Sarah just making a general statement. sometimes just being happy about your choices is what matters for example wanting a 300 dollar pair of shoes may be way out of our league but settling for a nice pair at 100 makes us happy but paying a pair at 10 or going without would not make us happy. there prices for shoes I put doesn;'t make a difference, it is just my example the point I am trying to make is what is important

I agree with you. Over the years, I have learned to either buy good quality for everything from orange juice to business casual pants or simply hold off until I can afford it. You're never as happy as you would be with a good quality item as opposed to a cheap one.

I am not one to want to settle. I go for the things that I want but..that doesn't mean that I always get them..lol. I don't think it make us spoiled not to settle. I have went for a happy medium a couple of times but those are kinda rare. It's hard to find a happy medium.

It is called Luck

No I don't think of myself as settling for anything, but sometimes there just isn't enough money for everything we want in life. I try to be content with the things I do have though & focus on that.
