You almost reflect some thoughts on an earlier post about latter factor on my blog...and that makes me happy. :) I especially agree with this: "I think towards the future, where I might be able to help my child pay for college instead of making him or her borrow hundreds of thousands of dollars to go to school."...I wish more parents (and would be parents) start thinking along these lines. Good job! David, I agree with you on this. You almost reflect some thoughts on an earlier post about latter factor on my blog…and that makes me happy. :)

Sometimes, when people talk about frugality, it sounds like they have to give up tons of things just to save money for the future. Then, what's the point of sacrificing now in order to enjoy the life when we no longer have the energy to enjoy?
