A funny thing happened the other day as an older gentlemen was getting his haircut and he happened to be using one of those senior scooters which he had to leave parked outside. Once he finished he started to walk back to it and one of the barber was asking how much it cost. He responded in a joking way by using some profanity on how that thing costs ten thousand dollars. You heard me right. The immediate reaction from everyone was how you could get a car for that price.<\/p>\n
Unless he was just exaggerating that then got everyone to start thinking on what you could get for ten thousand dollars in terms of a transportation vehicle. That\u2019s actually a great way to put things in perspective when it comes to your spending habits. For example, I know for some people when they start looking at how their designer item cost more than their yearly utility bill the then start to think if it is worth it. This is as oppose to just comparing it to other items in the exact same category.<\/p>\n
Many times you do need to compare the value of one thing to something completely different as like in this case it really is a shock factor that you could literally buy a car. It makes you think is there a better way?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
