    Same with other new and shiny things. Or clothes. Or gadgets.
    I'm bored with my Imac already.

    Consuming is dull.

    I reckon I need to start collecting old things of beauty instead.
    Maybe antiquarian and rare books.
    Send me 70% of your income then you will start appreciating the value of money all over again. It's a service I provide, selflessy.

    PM me for further details.

    This goes for anyone else with this problem.

    Oh, and, your welcome.

    Oh it's all downhill. When you hit two the cost of the childcare is astronomical, so only one of you can work. Then you have to provide an allowance for the other. Then comes the resentment. TheN the pressure!! Of course as a contractor it means the warchest goes quicker, you then have to work to stay afloat. It no longer becomes the free and easy way of life.

    You need two cars! They have to be practical!!! You have to turn gigs down due to their location!!!! Grrr!

    Anyway. Don't let me but you off. Kids hey! You can't eat a whole one

    I fear the girlie's hormonal desires are going to ruin that for me in the near future.

    Maybe you need to get a life. What a sad act. Your age, and you still don't have any idea

    Money is unimportant when you have it. Stick it in the bank for your kid - s/he'll probably need it.

    Why not give it to a deserving charity? Wouldn't that make you feel good?
