In which I resist the Ikea 62-hour sale and Suze makes me feel better
This past weekend, Ikea Houston held a fabulous 62 hour sale, with everything at a 10% discount. And I didn’t go.
This may not seem like an act of extreme resistance -but it was. Believe me. I love Ikea and I love spending money at Ikea – but I kept reminding myself of the ridiculous debt and the sad fact that I’ve lost like a 100 bucks in the stock market already.
I was ready to just sell it all and wipe it out as a loss -but then I watched Suze Orman on CNBC this weekend. She said stocks are meant for people who have ten years or more to invest. Okay. So let’s just wipe out the get-rich-quick mentality and start over. I’ll keep my stocks for ten years… ish. Or maybe I’ll just pull out when I break even…
