Too many knives! I did a run-through and made a list of first impression "gotta have its", then totaled the cost.
Now then, to the question - Should I risk living in poverty in my old age and dip into the so far untouched 401K (yeah, I am old enough to do it without penalty) or suffer through a severe culling operation?
Reminds me of the story of the young lawyer and his new wife who opened an office in a small town in South Alabama. One day an elderly spinster entered his office and asked him to handle her burial after she had died. Turns out she was practically penniless, except for $12,000 she had set aside for her funeral. She wanted to put on a show the town would never forget. After meeting the handsome young lawyer and never having been with a man, she decided that $11,000 would still cover a lavish funeral, so she offered him $1,000 to remedy that situation. The guy was put off by the idea, but said he would have to discuss it with his wife. "It's just one night," she said, "and we sure could use the money.'
They arranged for the wife to drive by the spinster's house on Firday morning and pick him up. The next morning, the wife drove up to the house and tooted the car horn.
The young lawyer stuck his head out of an upstairs window and yelled, "Come back Monday morning. She's decided to let the county bury her!"
