Things expensive and Disposable stuff

 

For today:

I read where one famous Billlionaire made a list of things middle class Americans waste their money on. I smile thinking of somethings WE humans do today.

I am a cheap skate (some would say) but I cannot imagine paying someone to cut my grass as long as I am able to do it.  To me that is exercise I NEED!

Me pay for an expensive CAR wash?  Yeah, I know, it is now ‘Detailing’. I would be so upset if I paid, $50 to $100 for having my car ‘detailed’ Then drive in the dust or on a rainy interstate being passed by 18 wheelers covering my car with road dirt.

I have spent $2 to wash the car at a coin car wash, several times to clean the mud off!  LOL

As a matter of fact I just washed and cleaned 2 cars yesterday. Both left out in a carport.  You may not know it but Florida is one dirty state. Today both cars are covered with this black dust or sand from the constant wind.

Many people will join a fitness center and exercise. That entails walking on a tread mill at times.  Then we all go to a shopping center and drive around looking for the closest parking place to the front door. To avoid walking, LOL.

I remember when Sherry bought a dozen diapers to take to a Baby Shower.  Now it is a dozen disposable ones.  Can’t people remember how much fun and exercise you got washing diapers and hanging them out to dry in the cold weather? And how much money you saved?  Well maybe that isn’t a good point, huh?...... LOL :-O

Do I really need another shirt or pair of pants, when I don’t wear all the ones I have. LOL

Have you noticed the huge buildings built just for storage of STUFF WE THE PEOPLE no longer have room for? I know of people (me?) who store things they will NEVER use or see again. One lady I know of was paying $100 a month 20 years ago to store stuff she just could not part with?

I smiled at Chatty who came up with something to do for Lent. She plans to dispose of one thing a day during that time.

I would bet that at least 50% of home car garages have STUFF in them instead of the auto.

I didn’t mention the $1,000+ toys men buy for the weekends

Do girls have expensive toys?

Thanks for reading this stuff. It is a little prideful, but I smile when you take the time to stop by and read..;-)
