Being a saver was fed to with mother's milk. My parents were Holocaust survivors. They always said put a penny to a penny and it will become more. They worked very, very hard in a luncheonette. Frugal does not even begin to describe how we lived. To make a very long story short, I am a saver, big time and how. I am 77, a widow and have way more (thank G-D) than I likely will every spend. I was born in Germany, came to USA as a little one, settled in Brooklyn and never went anywhere since. They say grow where you are planted--well, I still live in the same house since I was 12!. Spend, you say, how do I even begin??
