Right Hand Earns .. Left Hand Spends   

Well, at least you had something for the left hand to spend. Your mother has some wisdom in saying that and it's true to most people, including me. I work, earn money, and spend. That is always the process. I hope that I will have the discipline to save something for the coming rainy days where emergency happens. It is always best to have something when emergency is at our hand. So, let's get back and earn so that the left hand have something to spend.

This is so correct Sanju…whenever we come into some money, we get so excited but in the blink of an eye all the money is gone. It’s the same at the beginning of the month, when I get mypaycheck. Apart from the regular expenses, there’s some extra cash left and when I sit to plan things that I want to buy OMG…the list is endless but not the money! The demand and supply gap never seems to widen forever so that no matter how hard the right hand works to earn, the left hand always has its own plans to spend LOL

I hope this is not true as I am left handed. :-P

Just kidding. I'm hoping my right hand takes the money, and my left hand keeps it safe. Also, on a happier note, by using your left hand to pay off some loans now, you are paying less interest in the long run and thereby saving money, and as the old saying goes "a penny saved is a penny earned." Thanks for the post and happy mylotting!

True that you have spent the money, but think of all the assets that you now own from spending that money. Your husband's car will be completely paid off, which means no monthly car payment. By updating your mortgage you will have a lower monthly payment. You'll get all of those nasty credit card bills out of the way, and you'll be happier because you'll be getting a better nights sleep on that new bed. So when you really look at it, I'd say that money is well spent, and that you really did gain a lot from spending it that way. Cheers!

Well good thinking there as you havent wasted it.
might ought to put you some clothes in there if ya need them!

there are sometimes when i feel like we are just spending money like water. we dont spend it frivolously either! sometimes it just feels that way. lately, however, since hubby is out of work, we have tried to be very careful what we spend our money on!

That is a very good saying sanjana_aslam, and one that I have actually never heard before

Yes the saying is true an there is also another saying similar and that is the right Hand is receiving and the left hand is leaving
It is always the same we work hard and harder and it takes a lot to earn the money but not a lot to spend it
It is gone on Bills and that before we can even earn again
