Obsessing over taxes

Feeling remorseful for squandering a lifetime of relationships with family and tossing shallow monetary benefits towards them in attempt to make amends...despite the obvious futility

Failing to recognize when they are loosing their capabilities in professional pursuits

Unable to change ingrained patterns that are ineffective and even destructive

Frightened of new technologies and quickly dismissive of their benefits

Paying in exact change and holding up the line while they search their purses/coin bags in order to do so.
