I like the words, but I would like to a "Benefit" to the list. We often desire things, but will fail to examine how something will benefit our life and our future. "Benefit" is often meshed with "Value". Value is good, but I have learned that multiple "Benefits" are important and the true "Value" is not know until the end. What about “Benefit” ?

I put pen to paper this year and did a monthly budget. Since it is only for a month at a time it requires that I re-do it every 30 days. Kasey mentioned "borrow" above. I've got a different spin on this as in "borrow from the library rather than buy". I love books and I do purchase them but if it is a reference book that will be used again and again, I always borrow it first before I buy then I know if it will be worth my money. .-= Nancy´s last blog ..<a href="http://3blondesandthelaw.blogspot.com/2010/02/what-do-you-get.html" rel="nofollow">what do you get?</a> =-.

I just had red beans and rice last night... what a great cheap and healthy meal!! For my B, I'll go with "borrow" as in "don't borrow."
