As Happy as a Dog with Two Tails


As happy as a dog with two tails – a classic idiom that seems to mean the same thing to almost everyone – when a dog is happy, he wags. If he is VERY happy, he wags twice as fast. Therefore, a dog would indeed be very ecstatic if he had two tails to wag simultaneously to show his delight and pleasure in life.

Yet a dog takes its tail for granted. Short or non-existent like Corgi, or long and feathery like an Irish setter, Fido knows what his tail is for – expression! Happiness and affection radiates from his tail, and he doesn’t care about the size or looks of it...




There is a lesson here from Fido in our money dealings. We are rarely happy with our money picture. We don’t have enough, we are constantly in debt, and we fight with our significant others about where our income should go. The happiness in earning a living, sharing our wealth with tithing and saving for future enjoyments is what keeps our tails wagging, so to speak! How can you regain that joy and peaceful delight that comes with being content with what you have, who you are, and where you are going?

The first step, according to Fido, is to look over your finances with honesty and an open mind. What is your income? What is the necessary outgo? The discretionary spending plan? Start your vision with the idea that you are looking for strong points, not weak ones. Allow yourself the satisfaction of wagging for a moment!

Continue on to the second step, analyzing where your spending strategy could use improvement. For example, do you spend $100 or so each month on cable or satellite, but rarely watch TV? Trim your programming package, and roll over the regained cash into a rainy day fund. Do the same with each item of your discretionary spending; meals or coffee out, gym membership, extra vehicles etc.

You are doing well now! Let the pleasure in regaining control over your spending bring the joy of accomplishment into your life. If, in your search for ways to trim the fat, you find you have questions or concerns, don’t let them grow to disproportionate levels.
