The ASPEN Principle

I recently remembered that I have a Reddit account, and so I spent some time surfing the site over a few evenings. There are some interesting subreddits; I wasn't expecting to find so many interesting niche communities. But the two subreddits I enjoy reading the most are Personal Finance and Scams. Mainly because they remind me of when I was just starting out in the adult world, and clueless as to much of how it worked.

It's helpful, as I've gotten older, to remember that At Some Point, Everybody's New. There's always the first time that someone encounters something. It's an exercise in compassion that I want to make sure that I continue with.
