My financial controller officially retired about a week ago on a Friday. She went back to work as a contractor on Monday. Hey, she had the whole weekend off. As a contractor, she only has to be in Dallas one day per month instead of two or three days per week. So, now she has time to get her wants in top gear. Wants like painting the house, getting new floor coverings, replacing this or that, are on the list of things for her to get.
I will admit that there are a couple of things that do need to be done, but redoing the whole house is not a couple of things. It does me no good to try to explain to her that we have to watch our money and spending it now could prove disastrous later on when there is no way to replace it. When I talk investment options, market fluctuation, the impact of inflation and other financial terms, she gets a blank look on her face. She thinks she will be able to work until she is 100. I on the other hand try to live on the fugal side. Truth is that I am stingy.
My goal in life is to have as much money as she thinks she has.
