I’ve said this to so many people, and no one seems to really get it.

Being able to afford to buy something, is NOT the same as being able to afford to own something.

You can write that down, and use it as a reminder anytime you contemplate a big decision in your life.

Seldmeier101, I’m not talking to YOU specifically, just something for everyone to think about.
