When I have money, I never want to spend it

Sometimes I play the slots after work.  I don't always win, but sometimes I do.  Tonight, I won. 

I started thinking about what I could spend it on, if I was going to spend any at all. 

For some reason, I couldn't think of anything. 

I could certainly pay bills with it.  I could put it toward a new laptop, as mine is old and slowing way down.  I could buy some new clothes, some nice ones.  I could use a new purse--and I usually get one in the spring and in the fall.  I could buy some groceries, or take my son and boyfriend out to a really nice dinner. 

I just don't want to do any of that.  I like having it, and looking at it and thinking about what I could have, but I don't really need anything.  I have enough things. 

This never happens when I don't have money.  When I don't have money, I want everything.  I want books, clothes, games, toys, notebooks, pens, food.  If I see it, I want it.

But now I have money, and I don't want anything. 

So I think I'll put it away and let it grow with some compounding interest, and when I need it, it will be there. If someone else needs it, it will be there. 

I like that.
