No promise of tomorrow

I’ve heard it said we should live every day to the fullest, for no one knows what tomorrow really brings. That said, we all need to plan for tomorrow. It may or may not ever come, but what if it does come, and you have no plans for it? I’m generally a saver and not a spender, but I do love being generous. I don’t care that I’m not wealthy, but I don’t want someone else to have to pay for me to live. I think there are too many folks out there who don’t care that someone else is picking up the tab. We all need to be responsible in our lives, because whatever we do can affect not only ourselves, but other people. As a child, I was a bit carefree. I learned later to be more responsible with both my spending and in my consideration of others. I have to say that I have never been a worrier, or as my dad would say, a “hand-wringer.” I’m not the worst-case scenario type of person.
