Although we live well, we have never lived beyond our means. The exception would be when I was starting my business. We borrowed money to undertake that adventure. We continue not to spend more than we make, but this year has been different. We are spending more, and my intent is to spend even more in the next year. The reason? I feel that we need to do as many things together as we can before time runs out. This coming week we are going to New York with our oldest grandson, Brian. We are doing it up right by staying at the Marriott Marquis, attending the Cirque du Soleil, Spiderman, and Blue Man Group. I have already booked a B&B in New York for a week in December for a special trip that I am considering the first part of our 50th anniversary celebration. On top of that I am going to book a trip to the Galapagos for February or March, 2013.
