Cutting Costs is Stylish Now. What?

Well folks, it has been a couple of weeks since our last post, and for that I do apologize, but fear not! We are back!!!

As you can see by today's title, Cutting Cost is Stylish Again, and with all of our discussions on things like keeping up with the Jone's and all of their nonsense, I thought it would be reassuring to you, my loyal friends, to see that saving cash is what is in style this year. I guess this just proves that when you're riding high up on the hog and you fall face first into the mud, you remember the basics.

The attached article is actually entitled Ultra Rich Spending Less and Chasing Quality and it is littered with ten different points that range from the fun, to the frugal to the really?

The "really" one for me was number eight, and it states, "8. They feel less guilty about being rich. In 2009, many of the wealthy surveyed felt guilty about buying luxury goods or discussing their worth. Now, they're trending toward less guilt and a greater desire for people to know they are affluent".

Let me start out by saying just two words, bite me. You feel less guilty about being rich, well I am so happy to hear that you are finding solace during a time of tremendous worry for the rest of the country.

Feeling less guilty about being rich? Seriously, that could be the funniest line of 2010, if not the funniest line in the history of the world.

But anyway, back to business. Cutting cost is stylish now. It's official! I mean, if it's written in a Yahoo Finance article it must be true, right? I can consider my style score to have gone up, right? Ahhhh, who cares.

Style is an individual thing, it always has been, and to me, the time spent doing extra surveys, the part-time clerical work and all of the other ways trying to make money where others are just throwing it away, is a style. It's my style. And y'all welcome to come along if you like?

How about all of you? Tell us about your style!

Also, please tell me if the whole, "feeling less guilty about being rich" thing did not come off as absolutely hysterical!!!

As always, thank you...The Runner

Also, from now on I thought I would share the books I am reading, and post the ones I would recommend. So be on the look out! Here's the first!!!
