 | | Are You a Ridder or a Clinger? | | by Sydney Hazelton, Nov 10, 2008 | | You must be wondering what these terms actually mean. These are terms I invented for two groups of people and their attitudes towards the stuff they have. The ridders are people who love to get rid of things in the house. They cannot stand the sight of clutter in the home. They just have to get rid of it. As for the clingers, they are people who love to cling onto their possessions tightly. They can't seem to part with stuff they have, even though they may have no use for them any more or may not have used them for a very long time. They must keep everything, just in case they need them in the future. | | Comments(6) Liked It: 4 |

For the past six years that we have been together, my husband and I lived what Suze Orman would call "separate financial lives". Yes! We seldom talk about our finances. I don't know how much he earns. I don't know how much of that he is saving for the future, if he is saving at all. It makes me worried all this while. | | Comments(4) Liked It: 1 |

Why do we hide behind a facade when it comes to revealing about our true financial well-being? Why do we spend more than what we earn? Why do we pretend to others that we have more money that what we really have? I have been hiding from the truth. | | Comments(6) Liked It: 4 |
