The Money Thread

scaeagles · 04-03-2005, 03:29 PM

Money is something that evaporates at an exponential rate directly related to the number of children you have. Throw in other variables, such as the happiness level of the wife, and the inverse porportion of the amount of extra money you have related to unforseen and/or emergency expenditures and you have an equation which looks like photosynthesis.

If it isn't invested, pretty much, it gets spent. If the material needs are met, then there are various projects around the house I always want to do, or a vacation to plan for, or Christmas, or something else unforseen.

This is so true. That's why I have $34.87 socked away for retirement!

Kevy, it's tacky to brag about one's resources.

Actually, now that old age and decrepitude are looming on the horizon, we are starting to get a bit more serious about savings.
