It's very much not the only one, nor - in many cases, notably mine - even the primary one. Privileging liquid or fungible contributions over specific and committed ones is an old trick of the lordly and the purse-proud, and I'm very much aware of it.
It's good to hear the challenge made so quickly - this is the natural antidote to that fatal attitude of 'financial narcissism' which I mentioned in the earlier post - but for this month, I'm focusing on a very limited subset of money transactions, solely because they are baby steps and relatively easy to reckon with.
To forget the other side of it would be to consign myself to babyhood illimitable; please don't hesitate to tell me if any future posts seem to be heading off on that tangent!
