), I'm too old to spend time 'partying", so, beer money goes to iris, I no longer make political contributions, as the politicians can steal plenty, on their own, without me giving them any more , there's no sense planning on leaving any money to my kids.....if they even "half way" listened to what we tried to teach them, they won't need it, and, if they DIDN'T listen, they would just waste it anyway! I save tons of money on haircuts (I'm bald), I don't have a gym, or 'health club" membership....working in the garden is FREE exercise! I DO spend quite a bit on fishing tackle, but, that's REALLY needed for the garden, also.....remember Squanto and the Pilgrims ? I never have to spend much on entertaining friends.....the "true" friends I have don't need any additional "entertainment" other than our time together, and, being somewhat obnoxious helps hold the numbers down, too 
! So, you see, it's pretty easy to find the $ for iris !
Sounds good to me. I am just displaying envy . . not judgment
