MMB,

Who urinated in your Cheerios? WHAT isn't a money pit?

Isn't a NEW car a money pit?...every month you hand over copious amounts of money to drive one.

You own a home? If you do, you know full and well, you never stop putting money into one.

Do you have any vices? Do you smoke or drink? Gamble..even play the Lottery? Does your farm actually make money?

Do you eat? That gut is a money pit, you don't feed it for nothing!

Any purchase or acquisition can be analyzed as being unjustified....but seems to me this kid is onto something worthwhile. Makes me wish my old man hadn't poo-pooed the Kaiser I wanted to save 35 years ago. I also know had he bought an air conditioner back then, we wouldn't have starved to death, nor would his hoard of money been threatened. But to a skin flint..it was a waste of MONEY. Of course his next wife changed all that, but his kids weren't worth the EXPENSE. I've never been without a nice car, an air conditioned house, food in the pantry nor..... money in the bank. I own the money..it doesn't own me.

Cheers for the kid!
