    Red face The cost of living well

    http://www.forbes.com/free_forbes/2003/1006/105.html

    And they are complaining because their costs have gone up!! Give me a break!!!

    If I could afford that price for sheets, I'd be laughing.

    I can't believe some people actually do spend that kind of money on sheets and t-shirts. It's ridiculous!

    OH NO!!!! I won't be able to get my sailing yacht next summer, they never told me about the 75% increase!!!!

    Can you believe those prices!! I am glad to be a simple country girl and snuggle up in my flannel sheets, wear my comfy clothes and wear my $20.00 perfume on special occasions!

    Good greif for the cost of that car I'd be set for life!
    I would be able to pay off my home and every debt, plus do the improvement I want and have enough to invest do i would never have to work again!

    Yes, but could your house do 0-60 in 5.8 seconds? ROFLLLLL

    I used to live in an area where this sort of spending went on (NOT in OUR house though !) and I always wondered why 3000.00 shoes were so much better!

    I can't believe they are discontinuing the Swan 68 yacht. I almost had enough money in my change jar to pay cash, too.
