You can have the consumer goods you want and the vacations you dream about. You just need to plan for these things. You can save yourself hundreds of dollars just by doing a little research. In my opinion, an Internet connection pays for itself every year. I don't make any kind of purchase, from books to Internet games to electronics, without first researching it on the Web.
Money is like the solid form of opportunity and time.
I couldn't imagine mortgaging my future for a sexy car or a leather couch. The freedom that I have to totally change directions at the drop of a hat is worth so much more to me than anything I could pick out of a catalog. Bankrate Inc. All rights reserved.
