Here is my post for Melanie's Share Your World.

What are you most proud of in the last year?
I felt proud of making the decision to keep my current car due to low mileage rather than swapping for a new one (I use PCP finance so it's generally a straight swap with a smallish deposit).

I felt less proud when the car dealership phoned me up about getting a new car and I immediately caved 😮

If you see a puddle on the ground, do you walk around it or give in to the child within and splash about?
Confucius say "he who jump in puddles didn't have to spend all day making money to pay for shoes".

Do you feel free? Why or why not?
Yep, I'm totally free. Form an orderly queue, ladies, no charge!

What life skills are rarely taught but are extremely useful?
I don't know what's taught these days. I don't remember being taught any life skills whatsoever back in the 70s/80s, apart from maths perhaps.

A bit more "how to budget and manage your money" and a bit less "Henry the Eighth" and "types of glacier" might have been useful.
