Priorities

What are your priorities in life?
Let me give you a hypothetical situation: Say you put on a jacket that you hadn't worn in several months, and you find $25 in the pocket, or, you receive a check for $25 in a birthday card. What would you do with the money?
It would probably depend on your priorities in life.
Some people would treat themselves out to a nice dinner (nicer than McDonald's that is).
Some would go to the salon and get their hair done, or get a manicure/pedicure.
Some would put it in the piggy-bank, saving it for use at a later date.
Some would perhaps go purchase a gift for someone special.
So what would I do? Most likely I'd go buy a bag of dog food so that the babies could eat for a couple of weeks.
No one's use of the "found" money is anymore proper or foolish, or whatever, than the next persons. We just each have our different priorities in life.
So what are your priorities?

Like you - my kids, my pets. We spend gobs of money on the horses. It pays us back tenfold in devotion.
