Money You Hated to Spend/Turned Out to Be Money Well Spent!

Gee, Phoenix, I think people will refrain from telling how "stupid" we are. chuckle, chuckle..... We're all guilty of spending money foolishly. I know, I've done it too many times to count..... My short memory protects me. I think another interesting aspect of money is how we spend it in inconsistent ways. I've mentioned this in another forum, but it's worth sharing here. When I was in London last month, I had no qualms about spending $100 to go see a show, but refused to pay .79c a pound for banana this past week at the super market. I watch prices very closely, and buy many items at bargain prices - even when I don't need another shoe or another shirt or trousers. I wonder where we learn these habits? c.i.

c.i.- Two of my most favorite words in the English language are "SALE" and "CLOSEOUT". I am not a cheap person, but I do so love a bargain!

Geesh I just spent $699.00 on a break job yesterday - ouch!

I can remember once buying a great used car for about 100 bucks more than that!

I felt like I was a money trap - with repair creep....

Husker- I know- Car repair is such a blind item. There have been so many exposes on how car repair shops "take" their customers.

I had 2 Toyotas on long warrantees. So long as the warrantee was in force, the dealership could never find out what was wrong with the cars. As soon as the warrantees went off................zingo. The dealership was finding things wrong left and right.

We wanted new cars, and liked the Toyota, but we did not want to do business with the dealer. So we bought Hondas!

husker, Your problem is you spent it on a "break" job, and not a "brake" job. So you got broken. c.i.

The best spent money that I was unsure about was the money it cost me to move to Canada. I've never been happier and it is truly the best investment I ever made :-D

CI
LOL!
