The Economy 12 years ago

Q1 2014 GDP growth was -2.9%. There's no minus sign in front of 2.9% in item #1 in the article (I'm using Chrome).

Here is what I think connecting with others means: I connect with someone when, in my heart and mind, I understand their needs and feelings.

If my everyday experience is different from a person's daily experience, my ability to connect with them decreases radically. For example, I have great difficulty connecting with people who do not read.

So, as I imagined spending 10x what I was spending before on myself, I realized that I would lose my ability to connect with a huge number of human beings. Hence, the vow.

By travel I meant car payments, car insurance, airfare, etc. not vacation trips.

The $13K that you calculate includes this travel plus everything else. I don't think that I will be taking any trips to Killington when my discretionary income is significantly below $1K/month. And, if I do, it will only be because I've given something else up, like buying books, for an extended period of time.

Yes, I should define most. I should also define experiences.

By most, I mean something like what you suggest. What most people who live in G-7 countries experience.

By experiences, I am referring to economic experiences, although I understand that all facets of life, including romance, are influenced by money.
