| Zen-like observation for the day: it's very easy to save if one wants only things that are beyond one's means. It's similar to that whole standard Buddhist-flavoured enlightenment of ridding yourself of all desires, but much much easier. [16:00] |

| I don't find it much as a Zen-like observation, but rather a normal observation put into Zen-like terms. Or maybe I'm just completely out-of-touch with my inner hippie. I hope not. I sure do love Steve... |

| Steve, being my inner hippie. Not my man-lover. Although I have absolutely no objection to men having men-lovers. It's just not the way I swing, baby. Or something. |

| Can you think of anything more Zen-like without actually being Zen? (Being Zen rather precludes being Zen-like, after all.) |

| Things you do not buy, will not cost you money. |
| RavenBlack |
| That seems about equivalently Zen-like really. Perhaps a bit more "and the art of motorcycle maintenance" in that it's stating the fucking obvious rather than merely the obvious. Westerner Zen. |

| "Things you do not buy will not cost you money." Well, actually they could. Say you were in the juice business. A little juice business comes into town and you decide not to buy it out. Well after some time they're stealing customers from you. Everyone thinks Juiceco juice is better than yours. So you become bankrupt. And you still have to find a lawyer for those insider trading charges. |

| See, that's called "Corporate America," which violates all logical statements, Zen-like or otherwise. |
