We can’t afford them all – or can we?

money, afford, change

 

I was in a charity book shop this week.   Breathing in the musty fumes, of old, forgotten books, relegated to a box in the loft, and now released again for a new life,  when I heard a lady say…

“We can’t afford them all”

My ears pricked up like those of a dog hearing the rattle of their dinner bowl.

Upon further listening I hear a Mother talking to her maybe 4 year old daughter. (well I guess 4, I’m not good at judging these things)

“No you can’t have all these books, we can’t afford them all” gets repeated again

“Let me check how many pennies I have” says the lady, as all the money falls from her purse and clatters noisily to the floor.

How to talk about money

Did I really think that people came to see me expecting everything for free?

Do you think your potential clients speak to you expecting to get your time and expertise for free?

Logically I knew this wasn’t true.

But logic doesn’t always win out…….
