Now that made me laugh. :lol:
That is...Indeed sad, no amount of money could make up for the loss of parents, as much as I hate to admit it, my parents are the only members of my family I can actually stand, I don't think anything could really replace the people that brought you up. :\
Hmm, I think you did make the right choice to be honest, and I'm not saying that because I'm a cheap bastard! :lol:
Really, some people fantasise about a massive wedding and honeymoon in some far off place, but it's just going to cost more than it's really worth, sure, it's nice to do, but...Either that, or live comfortably for the rest of your lives, you're indeed a wise one.
Hmm, I never understood people who spend money like there's no tomorrow, it's not necessary, sure, if I have a lot that I will never actually need, I'll spend some of it, but I'll save the rest, it perplexes me though, when people have very little, yet feel the need to spend it all at once, on things they really don't need, still, it's good to be careful with money, you and Steve are smart there, not many people have the common sense necessary to plan ahead.
Oh don't get me started on that one, my last job paid insanely well, I was getting well over a grand a month for easy work, at my age, it's pretty damned good, and all I ever bloody got was hassle, sure, the work wasn't difficult and the hours weren't what you would call long, the pay was decent, and people gave me greif for it, telling me I should do "real" work, pfft, forget that.
In your case, it's not like you had a choice in the matter either is it, I mean...Like you say, you'd rather have Steve's mum and dad back any day, frankly, I'd say the same, it strikes me as incredibly rude when people just assume that you've done bugger all for your money, or have lost nothing for it...It's no wonder that my faith in humanity has gone out the window in recent years.
