"Discipline is remembering what you want." - David Campbell

To which I would add: YNAB helps me remember what I want to do with my money, which greatly aids in financial discipline.

I just got a cute cat picture from my sister-in-law. The cat is upside down on a windowsill, and the quote says:

"Sometimes I pretend to be normal; but then it gets b-o-r-i-n-g, so I go back to being me."

I think that's pretty good. And being me means I make an effort to work on our budget and buy groceries on sale with coupons. I don't care if family and friends think I'm a geek.

You say that like being a geek is a bad thing . . .

Always be a little kinder than necessary.

(There's more to it than that, something about the struggles people are going through, and I can't remember who it's from either)
