@ DebT

That’s an interesting observation – having more time than money. Do you ever use the same concept with your abundance of time?

I guess that I spend very little in convenience taxes. I have more time than money at this point, which makes the decision-making process pretty straightforward. Thanks for the article.

@ FS.

Really enjoyed your article on the Moose snafu. Hope people swing by to check it out.

If you were super rich, you’d hire a police escort and private SWAT team to barrel you down the freeway and clear the pinons out of your way

@ FS:

Like the self-punishment. Very “honorable” of you. Maybe that could be a technique for budgeting?

You know, I was listening to something the other day that was jokingly referring to how we’ve almost completely outsourced our relevance. We bring in people for our PhD programs and advanced, technical trades and we bring in people who want to work hard jobs and long hours for a slice of the America Dream. So what’s left for us to do?

FE – “Convenience tax” is spot on! The thing is, the more you make, the more you WANT to pay the convenience tax b/c your time becomes more precious.

I was going to take a cab back downtown after I got home at 7:30pm b/c I FORGOT that I drove and took the bus home. Sweet!

Instead, i biked downtown b/c i refused to pay the $12 bucks for my stupidity. I guess if I was super rich, I would just take a cab!
