Jane was having dinner with her friends at a chic
restaurant. They had been doing shopping that afternoon and now they were
chatting about all the things they had purchased: stylish clothes and elegant shoes
of the latest fashion. She loved her new acquisition. However, in a matter of seconds Jane starting
wrestling with a guilty conscience, for she knew that she had splashed out on
them. She bitterly regretted having sold all her family’s sacrifices. For so
long they had been trying to create a nest egg for the future!
Yet Jane couldn’t help getting
through money like water. The girls, she miserably thought, were women of
means. Therefore, if she wanted to be like them, she would dress alike. How
much she hated to be outdone by them! They were not in the least a bit worried
about money, but Jane did. She was brooding on what her husband would do when
she gets home. But now it was too late. She had run out of cash.
