Does This Make Cents?Why are we so quick to spend gift money we receive?
“Because I got it free. They gave me a gift and I turned it into a thing.”
Our minds play a trick. Gift money doesn’t seem as valuable as money we worked for.
But ask yourself, if you didn’t have to work for it, why isn’t it easier to save it?
But remember . . . Gift money can grow as shown by the Rule of 72.
