I pay taxes! Not much yet, but enough to make me think about the benefits of an IRA.

I had a pet sheep once, it's name was Berny. Then I sold it at a 4-H auction. Mutton is good food. I used to have lamb steak for breakfast. Farm living did have it's advantages..... too bad it didn't make any money so we had to move become city folks.

I don't mean to take simple living to that extreme, although if that works for you.....
It's just the little things like cooking your dinner instead of going to McDonald's or reading a book instead TV, or going for a bike ride instead of TV.... they save you money, time, and are just plain nice.
