don't ask me why or how but i managed to find myself in ken Rockwell site. normally when i hear talk about Rockwell, i just laugh to myself and move on because quite frankly, i don't feel a need to even waste my time on this. however, i just finished reading this section:

http://www.kenrockwell​.com …ow-to-afford-anything.htm (external link)

and all i can say is: i feel so bad for the guy. you need to read the section about the kids to really understand why i feel sorry for the guy but i can tell you right now that i have never read anything more idiotic and pathetic than this "article"......

Some people live life planning for retirement, others live life for the moment. I'm in the latter crowd. The world could end tomorrow, I'd like to have sampled it before it does.

i am not even getting into his methods of "saving". i am talking about advices like "don't have kids", "don't pay for your date", "don't order a drink while you eat out" etc....

OK, the next person that links to his site, I'm reaching through the cat 5 and slapping you. That was just as bad as all the other stuff he "writes".

Ive never read any of Ken's stuff, Ive heard a lot about it though.

Interesting thought process that man has.

He is right that kids are expensive, they do change your life, and they are a big commitment of your time,money, patience and care, but to make it sound like theyre responsible for any kind of destruction , struck me as a lil off.

I agree with that if you cant afford them the commitment, care, love, then dont have them.
