I think I heard this from Tylor Durden and it is an excellent and valid point. I made $60 thousand last year. My car is a $200 for festiva and my house is appraised at $22 thousand. I heat with wood and have no cable television. My goal in life is to get maximum utility for every dollar so I have time to spend with my family, experience new ideas, philosophize, and fight. Unfortunately my child has Autism and treating this condition has used up most of the money I make.
