FYI: WHEN IT CAME to money, I long had a slight degree of magical thinking—that there would always be enough, that some higher power would ensure that my checkbook was balanced and that I could be that super-generous person, even if I really couldn’t afford to be.
This sometimes landed me in trouble when, for some inexplicable reason, a check would bounce or I discovered I had less in my checking account than expected. To a great extent, I depended on intuition to manage my cash flow. This, I was always aware, was not a sensible way to live.
