Thank You, I neglected to add the fiduciary aspect.
I'm a real cheapskate of the old school,doesn't mean I'm blind to the necessities one needs,just economical.
Took a great deal of emotional effort to show my wife the wonder and savings of garage sales,thrift shops,coupons and outright negotiation,that's how I grew up and thank God,my daughter has nearly as good a line of bullsh-t as I do when she sees something she wants but on general principle{the greatest gift perhaps I have bestowed upon her} will begin lowballing the vendor and,well,not to offend anyone,Hmmmm....Chew them down unmercifully
