It irritates me when I hear people whinge (winge? I can't find my Brit dictionary) about not having enough money, yet they get brand new cars every few years bought on credit, buy lunch at work rather than packing one from home, and think that "can I afford it?" means "can I get it without maxing out my credit cards?"

A little patience and dicipline now will help keep blood pressure down in the future.
