Something to be happy about

This afternoon I was travelling behind a vehicle with the number plate VRY HPY. And well (s)he might be. It was a very nice dark green Mercedes convertible. Now as long as your basic needs are met, money can’t buy you happiness, but it sure can buy you a nice car. And a really good car can give a great sense of satisfaction to those who enjoy the the thrill. I remember following a low smoky-grey Lamborghini up the road, twice. Probably the same one. It reminded me of a stealth bomber. Sitting at the lights behind it, even my car vibrated with the raw power of this magnificient beast. Then the lights turned green and it was gone in a whoosh.  It would be so much fun to go for a ride, but would I choose to own one?  Assuming that I could, would I choose a car such as this? OK so its never going to be a car like this, its just not that important to me. But a really nice new car? The price may be too high.

If the price of a car or any other luxury purchase is financial stress because you have overstretched the budget, or missing out on time with loved ones because you are working crazy hours then you have a choice. What is the most important thing.  And hey! If you can love your life, keep balance and have the car then why not. Why not indeed!
