It has been one of those weeks where I somehow managed to burn money like there was no tomorrow. Now let me get something straight before I start on my rant. I don't have a problem with spending money, I only get irritated when I feel the money I spent could have been spent better another way and that is what happened a lot this week.

Your frustration is evident in your posting. Take a breath and become His Dudeness. Relax and roll with it. You've been traveling a long time and made millions of very good decisions. Stop dwelling on these few bad ones or it will miss the journey. Now you are almost looking for the next bad deal-- don't let that happen. Become mellow.
