A Lesson Learned

After a really rotten and horribly stressful week at work, I'm tempted to treat myself to a little retail therapy. But after happening upon a 'Dan Rather Reports' episode about the current unemployment rate in America and how highly skilled people with degrees and MBA's are being laid off, unable to find a new job and losing their homes and life savings...I'm reminded of another reason why I'm doing this challenge and should stick to it. I think the economic collapse was a tough lesson to be learned from (duh) and I strongly feel that people, whether unemployed or not, need to reevaluate how they live their lives and spend their money....and this challenge is an example of me doing that.
