I wish I would've known about this auction. My gallon jug of change
is almost full.


Most of us cannot comprehend having that much to spend on a toy let
alone actually doing it.


I don't understand a lot of people's reasoning about money. I
was in a motorcycle shop one day and overheard a couple talking to a
salesman. They were talking about financing one. Huh?
Motorcycles in Nebraska a a luxury. One won't come out ahead using
one as a commuter vs. a car. I understand borrowing for a house or to
make major improvements to one's property. But borrowing money for a
toy makes no sense to me.


I don;'t get it either. In my whole life I have borrowed money once
for a used car, borrowed to go to college, and borrowed to buy my
house. Everything else, cash or go without.
