Why $100,000 isn't enough

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.
