I Want Things
The guitar store is one of my favorite places. I enjoy pulling down some expensive relic off the wall so that I can examine it more closely. "It must be fate that brought me here", I say to myself.

However if we want to achieve our life goals, which could be paying off debt, owning a house or even traveling the world, we need to learn how to save money and control our spending.
