Sorry, they don't explode, shoot anything or make loud or disgusting noises, so boy logic wouldn't have dictated their purchase.

Martha said:Come on, I probably bought a pair of $5.00 shoes for $80.00. But they sure are pretty.
retire@40 said:Isn't it more likely that you bought an $80 pair of shoes for $80?
If they couldn't sell for more than $80, do you think they could ever really be worth $400?

If you hadn't included "military" in the same paragraph as "without scrimping & denying oneself" I'd be more inclined to agree. Especially if we're talking about the survivors.HaHa said:1)Government work. Military, school teacher, city, county, state, it's all gummit.
I think # 1 is maybe the only very secure, very low risk way to get to ER without scrimping and denying oneself along the way.

SteveR said:I think we should open a shoe rental company for women. That way then can pick out what they want and never own them and still get the benefits or "retail therapy."
Sheryl said:I have a vague recollection that this was tried with purses - not as complicated, since the size issue was avoided... For a monthly subscription you could have a different purse each month. Sounds like too much work for me!
Martha said:We have to quit talking about my shoes. Greg, the apocalypse, will probably be on-line soon. I would prefer this thread disappear from the top 50 posts.
HaHa said:As men, we are the beneficiaries of this action. The woman pays the cost in money and discomfort bordering on pain just to give us something that we all like to look at- a pretty woman's leg in fashionable high heels.

Hey, Laurence, I just read that San Diego is paying over 8% of next year's budget to pay their retiree benefits!

justin said:He he... your $15k only includes your share of the household expenses. I guess in that case, I get by on $15k a year, too.
justin said:My individual budget also includes no health insurance - 100% paid by employer (this is America, after all).
That is assuming I ignore my wife's expenses. Somewhat disingenuously

Sheryl said:In the case of a married or (living in sin) couple it makes more sense for the budget to be considered jointly - no way are we going to start worrying about splitting the grocery bill, etc., but we do each have separate finances, and both of us have to be comfortable with the situation before we both ER....
retire@40 said:And don't forget, there is no health insurance expense in that budget because he's in Canada. And, he only allocates $50 for summer vacations.
