A friend of ours in her early 50ies, nickel and dime all her life and now, coming down with a deadly cancer. Her internal is almost destroyed. Although she is very wealthy and can buy the best medical support but she doesn't have that much time left. DW and I are almost like her in a sense of being very very frugal people but now looking at our friend. We wonder if we should spend every nickel before we die and just leave the kids with the life insurance? 1/4 of a mil to be exact.
Here are examples of the things that we want but always "afraid" to buy...
1) a spanking new house with almost zero repair and maintenance. We live in 20 yrs old house that needs ... yes everything upgraded.
2) a spanking new and fun car which is age appropriate. I drive a 10 yrs old vw and she drives a clunker caravan 11 yrs old.
3) a spanking new and fast laptop and others electronic toys.. Our laptop is adequate and as loud as a subway train. Our camera, camcorder and gps are all old and outdated but functional.
4) a spanking new exotic vacation trip to a place other than grandma, aunt k, or uncle S house. We love them all but we there because it;s nice to see them and cheap.
5) unlimited of LIVE shows.. yes our flat screen TV is perfect for high def sunday football or dances with the stars but heck seeing in LIVE must be twice the fun..
6) and many many more....
thanks for letting whining..
enuff
