    Default something to make you chuckle

    i was in sears wandering around while i waited for the "while you wait" jewelry repair to fix something. all of a sudden on the muzak jerry rafferty's bakerstreet came on.

    then i wandered into lane bryant and pink floyds "money" came on.

    it was an amusing hour. think these companies need to re-do their music.
    11% gross to retirement
    10% takehome to tithe and offerings
    emergency fund maintained at 3000(works for me)
    credit card debt 7500
    mortgage free
    freedom accounts/sinking funds that ebb and flow
    then live on the rest!

    i am trying something new. LDS church advises savings or debt repayment should be the same as the tithe. 10% each.

    I have to admit to being a total grinch about music in stores. It usually twangs my last nerve, and often I just abandon shopping and leave. I can't imagine having to work with it. I guess I'm spoiled to the quiet library and my quiet apartment.

    Wonder who those stores were catering their music to?

    I can't tell how many times I have been in a store and just about to buy something I don't need and Baker Street comes on overhead.

    However, one of our local grocery stores has awesome 70's music that I shop/sing to.

    I didn't get it. Which means I need to listen to Dave more.

    That happens to me all the time, lol. I listen to Dave during the day when DH is at work and even HE knows if Baker Street comes on to step away from whatever he's thinking of buying!
