right now, my wife is working A LOT, and frankly, i can’t believe how we are back to a healthy level of savings, in spite of throwing more money into our house recently for a refinance and some other large expenses.
i always wondered who in the hell could afford one of those catered bike tour vacations in the catalogues I would get that desperately made me want to hit the road. tuscany. southeast asia. long roads through south america…all supported and deluxe…. Actually, that would probably be us, right now. we could actually afford that. woah. weird….
of course, it would cause me too much physical pain to write the check. but we could afford it! hell, i might just break down and go…
i think i prefer to spend the money on really expensive wood floors, a few fine oriental rugs,some other strangely expensive furnishings, and college tuition, but even then we might have a few bucks left over…more than enough for a cheap vacation somewhere local…
