A Black Friday advertisement caught my eye.
Three televisions from two manufacturers (Samsung and LG) ranging in size from 60 to 70 inches varied in price by $4,200!
They varied from $800 to $5,000.
The $5,000 tv is an Led 3D, Smart and ultra high resolution gadget.
To buy the $5,000 TV one has to earn as much as $6,000.
To buy the $800 TV one would need to earn about $900 to $950.
By paying a premium of 600% you quickly run out of your entire income regardless of size.
What long-range good could you do for your family, community or posterity with $6,000?
Why not buy a huge tv for a few hundred bucks and then invest the difference in people?
A family cruise?
Improvements to change a house into a home?
A prudent retirement plan?
Remember it's not only how much you make, but how you use your money.
A fool and his money are soon parted.
