I noticed something about myself today. My income has risen steadily over the past number of years – ok, I did not just notice that today. What I actually noticed is that as my income has gone up, my interest in buying things "on sale" or in getting a really good deal on something has also increased.

Conversely, back in the endless years when I didn't have two pins to rub together … I spent lavishly, even foolishly.

Shouldn't this be the other way around? Can anyone explain this to me?
