Strange Days

My mutual portfolio is now only down $1600 from when I bought it. The DOW won't have to go much higher before I'm at break even territory. I'm not really sure why that is. It doesn't seem that the economic climate is that much better than it was.

I'm debating cashing out at the break even point. I think that Wall Street is kidding themselves about what's going on.

....

I'm pussing out on the car. I'm just not sure about the orange seats, and I'm looking at my accounts and I'm probably being nervous even though there doesn't seem to be any problems. Most people live pay check to pay check and I've never been that way, but my G35 is 6 years old now. I really want a Z.

Maybe I'll feel different if the exact right car comes along, but it's just difficult to part with that kind of money for me. It's not that I haven't done that before. I blew a big chunk on the G35. I'm just nervous I guess.. which is dumb because regardless what happens, I know I'll be fine. I've got John..

I sometimes talk myself into these kinds of things by convincing myself that I can do it because I really do live very frugally with pretty much everything else, and my expenses are very low, all things considered. Hey.. I could pay cash for a GTR, so I'd be doing the responsible thing in buying a much cheaper Z, right?

I guess we shall see... and yes, I know I'm acting like one of those kids that talks about doing something but never does.

I'm the same way, I really wanted to get that GTI I had my eye on, but not knowing exactly how this new job would pan out I decided to hold off. Good thing I did too cause I ended up working downtown and can take the metro to work and don't really need to upgrade.

Again though, when I was looking at the cars, even one option or color out of place was enough for me to not buy the car. If you can't get exactly what you want there's no point in spending that kind of money.
