Money absurdity

I was just talking to my boss yesterday about how much money people have. It's absolutely amazing to me what money can get you. I mean things that are beyond anything I could ever imagine. Lifestyle, possession, etc... Truthfully, it's not me.

Anyway, the topic of this blog is just that. A 78K dollar ring? To me, this is pathetic. Keith Urban bought his wife, Nicole Kidman, a ring for this much as a gift for having their new baby.

I absolutely want to bless my wife with everything I can but what is too much? This is a ring. It goes on her finger. She could lose it in the kitchen drain, at the beach or in the snow. Like I said, it goes on her finger.

I hate this mentality. So much money and purchases like that. 78K could probably feed the whole continent of Africa for a week or cloth the homeless of Reno for two winters. It's decisions like that that disgust me about the rich who only think of their luxurious lifestyles. I have nothing against having this kind of money, but use it for something other than a ring.

Build a state of the art gym at your house or something. Don't buy a ring.

For anyone who is close to me, if at any time I get rich, please remember to hold me accountable not to make absurd purchases like this was.
