...they end up owning you

I've never seen "Fight Club" but I like this article and am now thinking about renting the movie.

The article writer makes some good points about sound financial decisions. I've tried to be conservative with money, I've been in credit card debt without a penny to my name and having to go without food for a few days until the paycheck came in and I've worked my way out of this debt by going on a cash only budget and acquiring only the basic necessities for life, case in point I had never bought a couch until just this past year, I've had a few couches but they were all hand me downs or curb finds. I think that moment many years ago when I could not afford food was the financial turning point in my life, I think it's made me a better person who can see that life in not about what you own it's about how you live it and how you touch the people you meet along the way.

Of course with that being said, I can't get this Porsche out of mind. It's the right price with the all the right goodies that I've been admiring from afar for the past 25+ years since I first saw one, I drew one in my drafting class in high school, the owner of a restaurant company I worked for had one that was very similar except it wasn't a Targa. I've always been drawn to this model and I have the money to buy it, but I've always tried to be responsible with my money and I'm having a hard time overcoming my spendthrift mentality. But man do I like this car, do I need it....NO.....do I want it.....YES!!!!

I've got to make a decision......
