I once heard a story of a very wealthy man who lived like a pauper, hunted his own meat, and devoted all his money to Christian charities. One time I helped do the taxes for a man who made over $100,000, and wanted to deduct a $5 expense for Girl Scout cookies.
I have to think there's a happy medium; a place where I buy new socks and underwear, as needed (they were). A place where I have my charity debits and Bible Handout expenses living together with the purchase of inexpensive perfumes and a name brand air freshener.
I did need the garments. Do I need some cheap roll on perfume? No. But I'll like it and it will make me happy for a very long time. I got some about this time last year; some I liked, some I didn't. It all cost about $20 and I found two very nice perfumes.
Tomorrow I plan to make my deposit and then buy a few vials. Some rose scents, and a tangerine spice.
They sound lovely.
