I'm going to talk about bad habits. I think one of the bad habits that I have for sure is spending money.
I know sometimes (that) I spend money just to spend money and that's never a good thing.
I don't spend a lot. My wife keeps me in check with the spending, but sometimes I'll buy something and I
don't even really want it that much, but I'm spending just to spend and that's kind of a dangerous thing.
I wonder why do that! Maybe I just feel like, you know, when you're working hard, you want some kind
of physical manifestation of what you're, what you're working for sometimes, some kind of confirmation
that what you're doing is, is good.
So sometimes maybe it's OK to spend a little money but, you know, I guess I've, I've got to be careful
about that. Thank you.
