My finances suffer from a disease that has plagued impulse buyers since the inception of the credit card.
I call my financial nemesis the nickel-and-dime disease.
Most of us have found ourselves in a situation in which we have saved a bundle on a big-ticket item, only to squander the pocketed cash on DVDs, computer games and barbecue grill covers.
Squander.
That word floats back to me on my mother's thick New York accent each time I stand dreamily before the army of plasma screen TVs that guard the back wall at Best Buy.
