resonates

Someone asked me recently why I don't save money for emergencies, or retirement. My answer was how can I justify saving for myself "just in case" something happens to me when something IS happening to so many already. 29,000 kids will die today of preventable causes. If I'm to love my neighbor AS myself, why spend so much time worrying about me?

interesting.
my dad and I spent so much mental energy weighing out the financial "smartness" of Belize for both the three months and for this November. I like this perspective.
