kyburgThe biggest fights are over the smallest amounts of money.
Think about it. When have you struggled the most? When you were rolling pennies for gas money...am I right? When you wondered if you could get enough out of the recycling to pay for groceries that week.
When there's enough, and you know you have enough to cover everything...you work hard, sure - but the absolute FIGHT is missing from the equation.
People who ask me to toss a few bucks into a pot along with others (and have shown ability to take it from there) are far more likely to get my ear than someone who demands hundreds entirely from me with little hope it'll save them.
Just an observation.
