I've been reading and posting a little for several months now, read several of the books that have been recommended, and done some thinking. The thrust of a lot of the thoughts here is you have to save, save, save to the point of frugality so that tomorrow will be better. Obviously, that has considerable merit; however, sometimes I wonder if we don't go a bit too far. I hesitate to use a Biblical reference with this group, but, I am reminded of the story of the farmer who had a bumper crop, so he built bigger barns to hold everything. After he had saved everything up, he sat back and said now I can eat, drink and be merry. Unfortunately an angel came to see him just as he put his feet up to relax and said, "You fool, tonight your soul is required of you." Any chance we are being a little like the farmer? To turn the stock question here on its ear, "How little is too little?"
