I actually slept good and fast last night, still feel tired now and can't wait for bed. Getting old is awful. The President is a fink. |

I'm telling you, it's generational. People from the WWII generation were raised to be frugal. And there weren't a lot of frivolous things to waste money on. No fast food chains, no Starbucks, no cell phone bills. I only remember eating out twice in my childhood, and never with my dad. All we would have heard is how he could buy a weeks worth of groceries for what the dinner cost. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
