Birthdays for Economic Savvy

Birthdays are the best. It's a time when people will gleefully take you out and fuss over you just because you were born. My birthday was on a Saturday this year and I didn't have to make any plans. Friends took me out to lunch, and my sisters took me out to dinner. My favorite part was when the check came and I didn't even have to look at it.

People fuss and fuss about getting older but they don't pay attention to what matters most - Getting free stuff!

So stop whining about your age or your whatever-life-crisis and let those who love you spoil you. That whole birthday thing only happens once a year.
