reactions to life: July 2003 Archives

Lucy: the whole insurance business is based on a combination of fear and inertia, they scare you into buying it and they hope that inertia will keep you paying the premiums year after year.
So we have been doing something about it, checking car and house and travel insurance. Re-mortgaging our house and moving credit card debt yet again to another zero percent card. Utility bills are next maybe and then there is always ebay. We have saved several hundred each month to spend on holidays. Make some calls and fill in some forms and it is quite easy really.
Thus endeth the public service announcement.

When do you leave your childish dreams behind? Those of becoming an astronaut or something like that. Do we scale them back as we get older so as not to lose them or does realism set in and they become purely idle wishful thinking.
I'm turning 32 at the end of the month (wishlist, if you want it) and as, is now more common, it makes me somewhat thoughtful, assessing where I am and what I have done. I never did become an archeologist... but I still have some secret plans, just like I did when I was five.
