I was riding the elevator down with some co-workers while leaving work yesterday. One guy was talking about how his wife bought a nice suitcase but she always wrapped it in a bag while travelling so it wouldn't get damaged, and it drove him crazy.
A woman in the elevator asked jokingly - So was it like a $5,000 bag or something?
The guy responds - No - nothing like THAT, it was only $1,300 dollars.
I was looking across at several of the women as this was said and they all did the OMG face.
Most of the passengers left on the first floor but myself and one other woman rode to the garage/basement level. I told her that my wife doesn't own any accessories that cost $1,300 and she agreed that she didn't either.
It was just the way he said it - the emphasis was on the "only" $1,300.
I don't really care what people spend their money on. I'm just glad LOML and I have similar value systems. We live a simple lifestyle and are happy.
I have some money tied up in my tools but nothing crazy - probably less than that piece of luggage . Ok - maybe not
Here to happiness!
Cheers
Jim
