Psycho spender

I am looking into the psychology of money. It's an interesting minefield which I don't know why no-one looked at this before. A silly movie called Confessions of a Shopaholic briefly touched on the subject, but didn't look at it much at all. I feel like this is something that should be taught at schools. I know people with real spending problems. I'm a major psycho-spender at times!

Piano

Also in the new year, I took up piano. I was able to race through my first grade 1 sight reading book from years ago with relative ease, but the more advanced exercising in the grade 2 sight reading book gave me trouble. I'm much further behind where I was as a 16-year-old kid, but it's clearly like riding a bike stuff keeps coming back to me like I already know it. Even things I found difficult as a kid are easier now.
