“The Money Clip.” [ Reflections on Warren Buffet's anecdote about addressing faulty money attitudes - Youtube](Start of Clip Series)
I’d looked at wallets in some stores –
“No way” (Your words), so looked some more;
Came back today to leather goods,
Saw money clip – as understood –To be the piece the man advised;
So bought it, such would satisfice
My situation at this point;
Then hit the Sunrise money-joint.Took out 1K in “Hundred” bills;
Into my clip they went – no frills –
For thirty days (to psych me out)
As man advised to carry out –“As it will surface crappy thought
Most quickly (’cause it’s Tommy rot),
For you to address as you start
This journey from Sir Noah’s Ark).And wow! What impact it entailed,
As lesson’s impact soon prevailed –
The price? 27.99 [two-seven-ninety-nine]–
Effect of clip just blew my mind.Three dollars tax on 25
(To keep the welfare folks alive);
With 25 to my mind shift
To healthy ways, from twisted – lift –It did – no bills yet in the fold –
With impact wild (and more foretold);
So Holy Spirit, what’s with this?
“Hey Stu, it’s just a ‘Heaven’s Kiss’ –“From unexpected ways and means,
To conjure up past views unseen;
Hang tough, just carry on, My man”–
Then through my nerves a ripple ran.Emotions were immediate –
Surprising – now I carried it,
I realize that guy was right:
It starts with past a merry fight.With line of credit based on it,
Enables shift to feelings, lifts
By paying down at faster rate
My credit cards – for Goodness sake.Plus interest saved will flow to here;
So monthly carry-clip will clear
My mind of all that stinking thought;
Start of the road to freedom sought.Then, every K which I replace
Goes into savings – in this case
As base for some low-interest loans –
So cards will have a brand-new home.Thanks Holy Spirit for this.
