Out of Normal: 2 months to go...

2 months to go...

until I can leave a dust trail, at least the option will be there. It is ironic that we place ourselves into voluntary servitude in order to impress those around us. What message is it that we are sending by spending uber cash on uber toys? There is a subdivision in my town called Hawthorne Hills. Some of the homes there are inhabited by individuals who have an income that is not so far above mine. Believe me when I tell you that my income is not that incredible. The thing that I find so disturbing by this is that homes there start in the neighborhood of 250K. I thank God daily that my parents raised me with the understanding that just because you CAN buy something, doesn't mean that you necessarily should. I have been tracking my spending for the past month and a half, down to the penny, and have noticed disturbing trends.

I have even begun to evaluate the project studio that I have been dreaming of building. What is the opportunity cost of having that studio??? Does it come at the cost of not spending 2 weeks in Scotland? Does it come at the cost of missing a wedding of a close friend, or missing a bachelor party??? Would I really use the project studio to work on anything substantial, or would I stare at it and use it as a coat rack??? Bah, I already know the answers to these questions.
