i think this is too obvious: i've never been one to borrow. the bit about taking on debt being the equivalent of trying to buy time.....never seemed necessary or worthwhile. the best part about being older, at 75, is not really needing to be in a hurry. enjoy the time that is.
i've never been one to complain about usps. i've lived a long way from town for 50 yrs now, and am always amazed at how well today's pony express works.
i wonder if there might/must be more energy bein' burned up by various companies delivering boxes of stuff from amazon...
i've said that we're not really growin' trees for lumber, we're growing boxes!
in these older years, it occurred to me that "time is money" has more than one sound interpretation.
for one, for all the diligent saving of "money" in a lifetime, you can afford more "time."
i really do like not having to be in a hurry!
i remember my proud father in law demonstrating his new leaf blower. it was not quite 50 yrs ago. that's a while back. i told him that the physical effort required looked an awful lot like rakin' leaves.....

enuf money allows your choice of what to do with time. it is said that borrowers try to buy time. it's way good not bein' a borrower.
