[quote=FlyerInHi]So what?

Money is just a way to facilitate commerce. We should not expect money itself be to an investment vehicle that will hold value.

The arbiter keeps score and assigns points. Money works in a similar way.

BTW, our children have no money. The government borrows money from savers.[/quote]

If you held quarters or dimes from 1963 or before u actually made a good return. A dime is worth 1.50

[scaredyclassic]

there is no reason for anything that happens day to day, week to week or year to year. Sometimes, after several centuries, purposes can be dimly seen.

My kid said she was willing to work on the miata if I could find a pink set of wrenches……

That said, I’m not trying to push too hard. Just trying to get the kid to be more careful….There’s diminishing returns that to the point the kid gets frustrated and just doesn’t care….

I got my kid signed up for some drama lessons..In case my kid ever wants to be a politician…..:([/quote]

There must be some “Hello Kitty” tool sets out there?[/quote]

If I get married to an older woman whose biological clock it ticking, she’ll probably want a house in the suburbs somewhere with a luxury SUV. A younger woman would want shopping sprees for handbags, shoes, etc…

Crunchy hippie girls who wear comfortable shoes for the win. She’d want a Prius and a bungalow in North-Park. I think you could live with such an arrangement, no?

Or just look in mid-40s. Past child bearing age, not quite at the Maude stage.[/quote]

i ahve a crunchy hippie girl! try to get the yoga subspecies.

Downsize your home, get a job that’s more flexible. You’re thinking like an overworked American.[/quote]

nope. im not realistically going to get a much lower mortgage payment ona place. i like my place. im happy in my house.

also, I hate to go places. i hate driving and flying.

i do like trains hwoever.

but.. i have a routine every day that incorporates the gym most days. travelling isn’t for me. i rambled around for 7 years when i was young and it’s all out my system. i ahve no desire to be anywhere else.

i like my yard. I have a hill i call “cactus hill”. I love to work on it. it was completely weeded and denuded of chaparal. i ahve carefully weeded it and the chaparral is coming back, plus all the cacti ive been bringing along there. lots of cacti. id rather be on cactus hill than say, the champs elysee

I like to sweep the floor.
