Well, they are at it again. The two oldest kids are talking cell phones again. In fact, the oldest went out and bought one yesterday. I can't tell if he did any comparison shopping and looking for the best bargain, or if he just let the sales people sell him something.

That's how my wife and I got into trouble financially - just buying whatever a sales critter told us was good. In many cases, it wasn't - we ended up with too much debt now and it makes each week painful.

Too bad people won't learn from the mistakes of others.
