Self Investment

Why is it we're so funny about money??   We may not be funny in the same ways, but money is a source of some strange buggaboos so most of us.

I've been working since I was 16 because I wanted independence and money to spend my own way.  Over the years, when laptop computers first came out, I didn't have qualms about spending $1000 on one I liked ... several different times!  I don't have qualms about spending money on what I would call pricey cameras, either.  If I find one I like, that suits what my need is, I have no problem pushing the "add to cart" button!!!

Last week I got it in my head that maybe I should buy a treadmill.  It gets really hot here during the summer, too hot to do any kind of real walking.  Oh sure, I can saunter around the block while Sadie does her usual sniff n stroll early in the morning before the sun rises.  But even during the hottest part of summer, our 5am temps can be as warm as 90 degrees!   Ugh. 

I looked at several different ones, and contemplated the logistics of a treadmill.  For goodness sakes, I own a 3 bedroom home, I should be able to make room for a treadmill somewhere that I'll use it.  And not the garage, we don't have AC out there! 

But what made it so difficult to push that button, make that purchase??  It took me two days to finally come to the conclusion that a) it's only money and b) I need a place where I can get some exercise in order to maintain my health.   So I finally pushed the "add to cart" button, and am now waiting for it to be delivered.  Yay!

Now I can only hope that it doesn't become
something I just hang sweaters on.
