An Ounce Of

Name the most expensive personal item you’ve ever purchased (not your home or car).

Can take your education away from you

Learn well and prosper

My education came out of my own pocket. I learned a lot in school, which is obvious. I also learned about discipline and having and appreciation for what I have and the hard work that goes into it.

If you think about it, you paid for healthcare your entire life. You did the same for your kids.

Paradox

And then you turn around and take care of yourself? I exercise, I eat no animal products and still hereditary gets in the way.

I’m not going to dig too deep into this question but one could argue paying for healthcare might be a bigger expense than a car.

But the analogy kind of fits, if you take care of either, it’s money well spent.

I don’t drive often, but I filled up my gas tank yesterday. I didn’t realize how expensive gasoline was.

An Ounce of

I bought a new pair of running shoes the other day, it was money well spent.

Adopting Lucy

I remember the first time I adopted a dog. The people at the shelter in Arlington Virginia asked me if I realized how expensive owning a pet was.

They kind of underestimated the cost. It is money well spent.

    What a thoughtful reflection! Your perspective on education, health, and personal investments highlights a deep understanding of value beyond just price tags. I truly appreciate how you connect life lessons, discipline, and self-care to the idea of meaningful expenditure—it’s a reminder that the most valuable things we invest in are often intangible yet enduring. Your insights are both practical and inspiring.

I would love to hear you opinion as well

Hello,

I’m Mark

His friends observe Mark seems wired a little differently. Perhaps it’s more likely that noticing little things often missed by others is a relic of a quieter, simpler time. He has a way with words, which he refuses to let be hindered by sub-par typing skills. People have great stories to tell if you sit and listen.

A belief dear to Mark is that there is certain beauty in the world. You simply have to look for it.
