The confusion of money and buying things

I live in town, I have none to few companions in this town. Those friends I do have live far, far away, so what is it a city person does in town to entertain themselves? Why of course, what all city people do! Merry Christmas to me! I do have money saved up after all!!! *smiles* So the other day I was looking at new cars for the fun of it (no I didn't find any cute single car salesmen yet), and I may want to buy a used newer then my car vehicle, some time in the near or far future (very detailed list of wants, don't you think?). Car shopping, no big deal, right? Well, I mentioned to my Mom that I may go to Rochester to look at Toyotas and Subarus (one needs to do their research right?), but then my Mom mentioned that there was a horse she wanted me to look at, although she really wasn't looking to buy a horse, nor did she need a horse, but she wanted to look anyway. *sighs* This gave me an idea, I could buy a horse I don't need! *smiles more* Ah yes, a car they say? A horse is cheaper to begin with, I have the money, and it would be fun, even if I don't need one....

Now after all these thoughts I came to a conclusion. Perhaps you can't tame a country person after all. You can put a country person into town, but you can't take the country out of the person. What city person wants to buy a horse instead of a car or going shopping?!?

    I know I am making a very late comment here but I havent been blog surfing in quite awhile and I just had to comment on this one. City people only shop for entertainment. That is why there are so many stores in town. Now that I live back in the woods again I am finally able to save money again!

    I agree, it is very true. Entertainment also comes cheper in the woods, and I find it much more enjoyable. Fortunately for me, I am too country breed to spend money on much entertainment. I just use the library to rent videos, not the video store and reading from teh library to read about people doing fun things out west or in the wilderness. Oh..... and I buy horses to spend time with on my days off out inthe woods. :)
