Sorta like when someone asks you for 'spare change'. "uummm, you mean change i wouldn't otherwise spend? Never really had any of that."
Don't get me wrong I give a lot to the needy but always found that phrase/concept pretty amusing.

I had a guy hit me up for "spare change" outside a store the other day. Had a good story but started off apologizing for being on the "wrong side of town" and being the "wrong color" ????? When it was all said and done he had more money in his pocket than I had in mine...

Our views on money are personal and individual. I think maybe the phrase "extra money" really is just short hand for "when I feel a bit more secure that I'm slightly ahead of impending doom". I had guests over this weekend. I noticed one person sizing my posessions up. I could feel that he was making assumptions about my financial worth based on his views of "extra" spending. He sized up my freezer contents, he pulled open a drawer to see that the wood was solid and not veneer, he raised up my table cloth to feel my table.... he commented on a light fixture etc.... the truth is that I have no more than he does on average, I just spend my money differently. My freezer is stocked because I buy on sale and I fear being unprepared for lean times since my income is irratic and seasonal. My wood is solid because it's 50+ yrs old and was a hand me down from my grandmothers time when all wood was solid. The light fixture was picked because it HAD to be replaced but I bought it on ebay for half price and was low energy consumption etc... I confess I felt like he was casing the joint. The truth is that he is probably better off than I am because he knows how much he will earn this week if he shows up. Whereas I have no idea. All I really know is that it won't be enough and there certainly won't be any "extra"

you are a wise and prudent woman and I had a feeling that I was reading prose.....who was that guy? why was he in your house? creepy dude?

 

[OldHippieChick]

Painterdude, not terribly creepy - no. He is a friends husband. Strange marriage, they don't live together but when she comes to visit, they spend all their free time together. I've known him for ten years and he's never done anything to make me distrust him..... it's just that I live like a grown up and he's a total packrat slob. It is what it is....

BTW: Thanks for the compliments - prose huh? cool.

We have all made our journey thus far.

Some days its sunny, some days its grey.

Some find an unexpected pot of gold, most do not.

We all wish for a stiff wind to blow the grey away.

But you have to remember,

You only find a Rainbow when its raining.

I keep my "spare change" in a milk pitcher in the kitchen. Once every two or three years I blow it on a "spare electric bill".

If you were not wearing a clingy top, then I suggest you go and check the pitcher.

Sounds about like me. My pennies in the penny jar are almost worthless, till they suddenly mean everything. They go from meaningless to value in a single unexpected twist of life. hahahaha
