I feel good without having to deal with debts. Really, really, really very good.<br /><br />I tried credit card once when my children were in their elementary years purportedly for emergency used only. Then, then ... from Mathematics to Algebra including Physics and Calculus and Balance Sheets, my Chemical Analysis went over the roof and ended up making endless payments ... interest on top of the interest. And the debtor was not joking.<br /><br />Too much hassles when you get caught up with this hurricane of sharks.<br /><br />Good lesson DB. I bid my Scientific Professor Adieu but my Accounting Professor taught us things to the contrary.<br /><br />I tagged him a Misleading Economist. haha Sorry!Indayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591131757572208375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136983861650322458.post-2298187463904006832009-08-30T10:57:17.506-04:002009-08-30T10:57:17.506-04:00My Dad told me when I was going off to college tha...My Dad told me when I was going off to college that he wished he could give me the benefit of all the mistakes he made and learned from. "But," he said, "I know it doesn't work that way." Truer words were never spoken. Hugs, Beth<br /><br />P.S. I hope the egg was tasty and worth the scalded fingers. :)Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05149068921334726430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136983861650322458.post-74054431364300273752009-08-30T10:31:29.644-04:002009-08-30T10:31:29.644-04:00I think that I learn the first time from most of m...I think that I learn the first time from most of my mistakes. Of course, the one that I am willing to keep "reaching into the hot water" is in trusting people and giving them the benefit of the doubt, at least until they cross me :o)Ken Richeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425810816600512504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136983861650322458.post-13830308783217135642009-08-30T08:14:17.627-04:002009-08-30T08:14:17.627-04:00Right as usual, DB.

I like Betty's point, too, about our failure to learn not only from ourselves, but from previous generations. As for the current generation learning from our mistakes: I don't even want them KNOWING about most of my mistakes.<br /><br />Ben<br />http://ben-better-left-unsaid.blogspot.com/Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00397990356075164027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136983861650322458.post-36324437382405687592009-08-30T01:03:11.367-04:002009-08-30T01:03:11.367-04:00worse yet, you would think we would learn from pre...worse yet, you would think we would learn from previous generations' mistakes but we haven't and the generations who come after us won't learn from our mistakes either.....<br /><br />but, individually, thankfully we can try to learn from them<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.com
