Mom Memory #4

Money- I never really understood this about my mom growing up, but I've heard about it from other family members- apparently she's really good with money. She won't buy anything unless she has the cash for it. The few times she has bought something on credit (a quilting machine, a car), she always lives very responsibly the entire time she's paying for it. What's even better is she might be responsible, but she certainly isn't cheap. She is so generous. Never, have I ever, been able to pay for my mom's lunch, not even on Mother's Day! (It's actually kind of annoying.) Anytime she'll take us to a craft fair, or swap meet, she'll always give us some money to spend because she says, "It's no fun if I'm the only one spending money." She's a great example for me to using your money wisely, so that you can be generous with those special people in your life.
