Over and over again, in the "Secret", and in other books I've read and hinted at in the ES series is one statement I hear that really preplexes me. "They" keep saying, "Don't say to your kids "We can't afford that" ". I know we're supposed to be thinking positive, so more positive will come, but really...what are we supposed to say to them, when they do ask for something we really can't afford at that time??
