It is a rare moment when the government, business, or friends and family don't consider it a time to celebrate by spending. Birthdays, holidays, job change, home purchase, renting a new apartment, bought a new car, bought a used car…

Each and every event needs at least a small acknowledgement in the form of spending. A raise and or job promotion? You must buy a round! Bought a home? Housewarming party! And on it goes.

Gifting and spending are out of control and business and government love it that way. You spend; they profit. And it keeps you poor so you keep working those stressful jobs with inadequate pay because they got you over a barrel. The government loves your harmful spending habits because it increases tax revenues.

There has to be a better way. It requires a review of the psychology of money and a small change to your thinking. But the change is worth the ride.

There are powerful interests interested in your pocketbook. If you don't lay down the law you will end up deep in debt without a real plan for retirement. That is a prime recipe for unhappiness and burnout, along with great dissatisfaction with life. There has to be a better way.

I am of the firm belief you can learn something from every situation, from every event you attend. With this in mind, I decided, after years of avoidance, it was time again to check out what happens behind the closed doors of the free dinner invitations.

Three dinners and a lesson learned at each. Two were as expected. I learned how slick the sales people are nowadays. You get a front row seat in the latest blog post so you don't have to suffer the assault I did.

But the last dinner seminar was different. Not only did I learn several things; there was no sales push or even an opportunity to set an appointment. It was incredible!

Give it a read. And share in the comment if you have any similar experiences.
