I had a dream the other night, about goin easier on my partner about money. Since i was young i was taught about how to manage money and save, and do a budget. My partner on the other hand never had the opportunity. Coming from a very poor family she never had that much in life, and certainly never had the chance to manage money. So ive learnt that its unreasonable to expect other to be able to follow your own strict habits, especialy if they have never had the chance. I try to live my life in quite a strict manner, which i learnt while training as monk. I enjoy living such a life, but i think its unfair of me to expect others to live in such a way. I take enjoyment in spending time with my children when i can, i enjoy paying my bills On time, and i enjoy spending time at home, i drink once a week, i dont smoke, and i have no addictions other than cookies, i dont steal i dont lie, i dont make promises i cant keep, therefor i do what i say. Thou i find this easy to do, i now know others are unable to and i shouldnt expect them to even thou i find them quite easy.

ya I think if you are raised this way its an easy thing for you to do, but if never have had the life lessons..or the opportunity to learn this as you grow up its a very difficult thing to do and takes allot of time and being strictd on yourself to achieve this. Its so very easy to revert back to how you have always managed these things. I myself am used to trying to save and live on a budget shown and taught to me by my parents, but other areas of my life no such lessons so have to work at it the only way I know how.
Hmmmm thats a good point, i was foolish to believe that if i could do it then surely everyone could, But i guess if u havent been given the tools how can you. But i do see that a habit is a hard thing to break, even when people want to change they still find it very hard to change life long habits, especially if ones education is low, and ones family is very poor, your option and abilites are always goin to be limited
