We are "socially marginal"

Postby Will » Fri Jun 15, 2012 10:14 pm

So I'm watching this show on PBS called "Money Smarts" by financial planner Jonathon Pond. Someone asked "How am I supposed to save 15% when I hate budgeting?" Mr. Pond responds "Well, if there is anyone out there that enjoys budgeting, they are socially marginal." We've all been labeled!

:lol:

I prefer to think we're socially well adjusted by the financial stress relieving power of YNAB, however hanging around these forums way longer than we should, could qualify us for the label.

:roll: I wouldn't be a good judge of that. I've been called a lot of things, but normal is not one of them.

It has been said "The only normal people are the ones you don't know very well."
