As I pondered on a subject to write about one idea kept popping up based on how I was spending my time lately. In today's reality many of us spend our money much more cautiously and with careful consideration. With that in mind a long standing practice of many women has crept into our lives as a couple.
Many of my guy friends have expresses shock and disbelief that spending time window shopping could have value beyond couple time and .......they could not be more wrong. Guys call it scouting, call it project planning, call it anything but shopping but this practice can save time and money long term.
The time spent window shopping leads to discussions and an open format to exchange ideas and really define a home project or purchase before you spend the money. My wife Dana did a great job of selling this Saturday afternoon exercise to me.
Dana created a list of items we wanted to purchase over the next six months based on our budget. Included was the 50 inch HD TV by the way guys. This list created a great map of where we go window shopping and put a date out there when we planned to purchase it.
Window shopping a long held practice of many women is time well spent for all of us. By the way I truly enjoy the time away from the kids, TV and the phone; which women figured out long ago. Take the time this weekend to put on your comfortable shoes, get a good cup of coffee and do some walking and go window shopping.
