which in fairness he may not have had the opportunity to purchase again).
A rare sword or another reason? :D
Smallsteps doesn't really have anything to buy, she gets so much stuff handed down to her from family and neighbors. She is also super impressed with small random things. in her Christmas sock, she got a fridge magnet - super happy! :D
She doesn't get the idea of saving though...
I prefer using cash because I can track it better (unlike my kids who prefer using their cards because they can check their bank accounts and see in an instant what's left).
We would all spend less if we used cash I think. It is so rare in Finland though and has been for many years. No fees on card transactions since I have been here and that is 20 years already. It means that Finland is "well trained" to be cashless.
I suspect that at some point, it will come back to bite - when there is the need for a run on the banks...
Another reason (we were at a con, there was a weapon stall, that sword was there).
When youngest was that age he didn't have anything to buy either, he just wanted to buy stuff.

Absolutely and across so many areas. Then when it happens, they move the goalposts of their words again.
Have to avoid being wrong at any and all cost? XD
