Perfect? Yah,sure...that'll happen...not! With money I've always been conservative,maybe even "Midwestern".I always had decent,clean clothes...no rips,tears or stains.I always drove a decent,but not trendy,car.I always ate decent food...the kind you find at "Price Chopper" rather than Whole Foods.
Today I find myself having had a good,but far from luxurious,life and now,thanks to my conservative attitudes toward money I can afford a really nice car,Prime Rib whenever I want it (which I'd absolutely have every night were it not for doctors' repeated warnings),can afford to set the thermostat at 73 in winter and can afford to see the world (we have a trip to East Africa booked for January).
But then I'm debt free,have several decent pensions and am pushing 70....not 13,or 30.
I’m happy for your success, GSC. I hope your trip to East Africa is exciting and wonderful. God bless.
