No kidding, lol… Just the other day, I was in an Apple Store. I was standing next to two women that were waiting in line to each Prepay $850 Cash for the New IPhone 6s+.
And I overheard them talking about Krazy kids that shell out $50 for a yoyo.
One of my neighbors was whining to me about how his Barber raised the cost of a basic haircut from $16 to $18. Then the next day he wanted me to come across the street and see the new Custom rims he bought for his Mercedes AMG… $6000!
The Value of money… The worth of money…The ease or difficulty one experiences in letting money go is directly related to how well Heeled that person is.
I have an Uncle. He is a Millionaire. Every so often when I visit him, he asks me if I need some money. I never take it; ever. I don’t deserve free money. He is just a generous kinda guy I guess.
Yet… When he buys clothes, he goes to the Goodwill Store or Salvation Army and buys pants and shirts and shoes for like $5 each.
Bottom line: rich people can be really thrifty and poor people can be spend crazy or the other way around.
Back directly on Topic <> there are certain words in the English language that are just distasteful. Amazingly they usually sound almost equally horrible: pimple, zit, pus, hemorrhoid, slob, abscess, mucous, ugly,etc.
The words are useful in describing exactly what they indicate. But nobody likes the words.
Budget is one of those lame kinda words. Budget just doesn’t sound good. It sounds like it should be in any sentence with the word Walmart in it.
Liposuction sounds lamer than Budget. But Budget is still in the same category as pimple, etc.
But to me Budget doesn’t mean cheap. It just means ‘less expensive’.
I think to ‘get over’ the stigma of the word ‘Budget’ you have to get a yoyo like The Hatchet2.
If you see the Hatchet2 listed as a Budget metal and you play a Hatchet2 for a half an hour; you can free your mind of any relative descriptive application between the Words: budget and cheap.
Is that clear as mud?
