Financial Quote

From “Your Money or your Life” which I am reading right now:
“In 1970 staying trim and fit meant doing your own yard work — mowing your lawn with a human-powered mower and raking leaves. In 1990 it required a health club membership and a $300 ergonometric stationary bicycle — and these for the person who has a 12-horsepower riding mower and a 140-decibel leaf blower.“
I love how reading these types of books shows how brainwashed people are about money. It’s really enlightening.

We’ve spent the last two years struggling to get our debt down. We’ve got plenty of nice gadgets and gizmos to show for all our spending, but in the end, I’m sure we would have been happy with having the 2nd or 3rd best of an item. But, one can always rationalize almost any purchase.
We’re finally starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel and we may actually be credit debt free by the end of this year.
Although I don’t know if I regret getting my Pink Kitchen Aid stand mixer!
