[quote=Anonymous]Folks, let me tell you this:  "Easy" doesnt build character.  Throwing money at things doesnt make you resourceful.  It doesnt require creativity.  It takes nothing.

Ever play a video game and put in a cheat code, making yourself invincible?  Its so cool at first.  Then there is no challenge.

When people I know take extensive vacations, or purchase things, etc, I actually take interest in them and feel happy for them.  I really live a little vicariously through them.  I'm grateful and have a great life, we mind our budget and get by on one good salary.  I've gotten to an age I dont have to own things to appreciate them, I dont have to actually go somewhere to imagine someone had a nice time there.

The best exercise is what I did when I asked what I would do if I won that big multi state lottery a few weeks ago.  I realized that the answer had to be "nothing different" or I would ruin my life.  I would likely quit my job and make my new job "giving the money away to worthy causes" but once you start down the road of spending unearned wealth....its a slippery slope.  [/quote]
