Ok, so I've been struggling with something for years. I have a problem being satisfied with material objects. I'm 30 years old, been married for 12 years, have 3 wonderful boys, and my wife and I have excellent jobs and do really well. I have a 2500sqft brick home with a 2 car garage that sits on 2 neighborhood lots. I have a 2001 Cobra that's supercharged, a 2007 Dodge Daytona Charger and a take-home vehicle provided by my work with free gas! Given and been blessed with all these things I still have the WANTS! :nonono:
I've had a 89 GT, a 93 GT with a Cobra motor and a 100 shot of NOS, and now a 01 Cobra that I bought with a Vortech and 380rwhp but just sent it to the shop to add another $3500 to try and make over 450rwhp and I all can think about is the shop owner's red Ford Lightining that he pulled in and how I want one of those now and maybe a boat to put behind it to take my boys fishing...What the hell is wrong with me??!!!
I love my family and we spend tons of time together...fish, play sports, eat every night together, vacations, car shows...you name it, but when I have a spare moment I'm thinking of buying stuff. I'm beginning to think if I won the lottery I'd still buy lottery tickets :bash:
I'm a God fearing man but feel that my faith is lacking causing me to be selfish with material items...which is sad to me.
And please before someone tells me to "Shut the F*** Up you silly little B***H because some of us here have lost our jobs and our homes." That's one of the reasons I'm typing this. I should be thankful for what I have but I keep trying to fill a void that apparently is more like an abyss.
Anyway, thanks for listening.
