They may be seen as more generous/frivolous with their money and consequently they're commonly the people that boast little wealth. But the rich people invariably get rich because they watch everything they spend, no matter how small.
We both agreed that the wealthy people we know are the tightest bastards with money. Whether these people earn a large wage or not, they are generally better off because they watch every last cent they spend.
It all makes sense now! my God, in a few years I could be rich! (and hated and spit on and have a funny nickname like "Scrooge") On second thought, I'll spend the $10-20 bucks a year on pens and resign myself to being poor. But at least I'll be writing with a pen I like.
Great observation on the difference between the rich and the poor. I've seen it myself. One of my second cousins is a multi-millionaire, buys 2 Corvettes every year, one for his wife and one for himself. If a holiday falls on a weekend, his employees don't get paid for it, and he still stops to pick up pennies he sees on the ground.
Amazing.
The pen he uses? The Bic round stick. White pen, cap matches pen color. I'd post a picture, but everyone's seen one and/or has one already.
One has to wonder, is this the pen that is replacing Jodum5's already cheap favorites?
Thanks, LK.
No cent wasted.
