Spending Money

I can refuse to renew magazines that I really like, such as the Economist, or Fine Homebuilding, because I want to save money.

At the very same time, I can contemplate a) buying a riding mower (about $1500), or possibly a zero-turning-radius mower (about $2500), b) having a door put into the back of the garage for easy access for the mower (about, oh, $800- $1500), and c) while we're at it, having a room put on the back of the garage to serve as a storage room (about $5000), and maybe having electrical and water connections put in there, just in case (about $3000).

So I can say I'm saving money, to the tune of about $200 a year, and at the same time contemplate spending about $13,000.

Maybe I should get a brain scan!
