I had a very interesting experience the other day. I was driving around with my parents and my father needed to get gas. Instead of looking around for the cheapest gas he pulled up to the closest gas station and started filling the tank.
My mother in the meantime sat in the back just biting her tongue. I could tell she was frustrated that my dad was spending more than he needed to. That’s when she told me about a popular saying which goes something like, “men will pay $2 for something they need even if they can get it for $1 somewhere else and women will pay $1 for something they don’t need if it’s originally $2.”
This is so true and I think we both could work to men our ways and save money. If both genders were to take better care to not spend unnecessary money then we could both save a lot of money.
