Our Fast-Paced Lives

Note: I debated about whether or not to post this, because some people will see this impatience as a character flaw I have. Oh well. I decided to post it anyway... maybe it will convince some people to change their ways :-)

We live in a fast-paced society. It seems like we are always running from one thing to the next. I love some of the conveniences that speed things up... like debit/credit cards! I almost never carry cash, and rarely write a check - what's the point when I can just swipe my card? I think it's interesting how my outlook has changed when it comes to exchanging money. I was in the grocery store today and the two people in front of me wrote out checks! I found myself a little annoyed, as this slowed down my grocery shopping experience. I was in a hurry to get to my next commitment. Why not use a debit card? The money comes from the same place! Hmmm... maybe I need to learn a little patience. Reminded me of those Visa commercials - I love those because that's really how I feel!
