If I went along with BB's ideas from way back when and spent the money in our retirement fund we would not have 70% of it.

That has been going on for over 5 years. I just listed the 3 highest years. Most likely $15,000 spent there since she started watching. What do we have, a couple of pot and pan sets, several electric cookers, many slice and dicers, some glass trivets, some faded Kinkade pictures, some embroidered clothes, shoes and purses that almost fill a closet.
We have one daughter that is in almost the same boat with QVC shopping. Buying more creates a desire to have more. There is no end to what people want until someone is in serious financial trouble or someone like me is about to leave. Daughter will be paying for her purchases for 5 years, that is if she quits today. Fat chance.

Lou, you think you can do all of this work you have inventory for, Not likely, maybe half. BB, what posessed you to buy 10, electric cookers and 5 pot and pan sets? You having company over? I hear the last company you had over to eat was several years years ago (relatives come every year for Thanksgiving but rarely anyother time unless I invite them and I cook).
So this is one reason I drag my feet on the car. BTW the car choice changes monthly, from a hybrid Honda to a Hummer. I know if we did buy a car, it woud be the wrong one in about a year and would have to look at a different one again.
