Heh... some pearls of wisdom from that article "If it flies, floats or fornicates, always rent it - it’s cheaper in the long run."
And, far more relevant to this discussion: "Becoming rich does not guarantee happiness. In fact, it is almost certain to impose the opposite condition - if not from the stresses and strains of protecting it, then from the guilt that inevitably accompanies its arrival. "
Ahh, thankyou. I remember reading this article a few years ago. I also remember the bits about flying, floating or fornicating. I didn't remember it had come from the same article though.
