I am impressed on how you can take real life events that one would not necessary think of and relate them to the world of PR. Keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to reading more.

I completely agree with everything that you said on here...except your disclaimer at the end about being a Packers fan, that is. :) Love this, Tegan!

]]> Comment on Twenty-Something Confessions: To Save or Not to Save? by Caroline http://teganzimmerman.com/2010/07/27/twenty-something-confessions-to-save-or-not-to-save/#comment-259 Caroline Tue, 31 Aug 2010 14:43:09 +0000 http://teganzimmerman.com/2010/07/27/twenty-something-confessions-to-save-or-not-to-save/#comment-259 Great thoughts Tegan! I often face the same dilemma you described. The only thing I would add is to consider the value of the purchase. Because the lines between want and need are often blurry. Whether large or small, is it an investment purchase? Will this save you from having to spend more money later even if it's a little more now? Is it going to save you time, energy, and make you happier than you would be without it? Do the benefits outweigh the costs or will it just set you back further on your financial goals? When it comes to grocery shopping, does the generic food have the same (or better!) nutrition stats as the similar item in the organic section? Sometimes. Does the beauty product from Sephora give you better results than the OTC product at Walgreens? Sometimes. It's that kind of thought process I have when I make those purchasing decisions. Do I really need my hair done for THIS weekend or can that purchase wait a couple more weeks so I can squeeze in a few other priorities on this paycheck? I'm still living at home, but getting an apartment (!!!) with Ross this month. So while I have been a little swank living at home, I've still saved. I'm still able to move out and be financially stable on my own. My parents have the same cut-off mentality as yours. But I can say that I'm finally ready! :) Great thoughts Tegan!
