Everything Has It's Price
The goal of these advertisements is to convince viewers that price is not a question. If you really want something, if it brings you great joy, then it's priceless. The problem is that this type of thinking causes many people to smother in a mountain of debt. Paying your mortgage on time? Priceless.
While that moment is worth treasuring, the bill for it is not. Imagine having a dozen "priceless" moments in one month. Can you afford a few extra hundred dollars a month?
Find What's Really Priceless
There has to be a limit to your "priceless moments." Yes, it's a precious moment to watch your child run across the calm waves on a Caribbean beach, but it's equally as precious to listen to his laughter as you play a board game together at the kitchen table. Yesterday at a Halloween parade, a piece of candy thrown from a float bonked me on the head and fell directly into my son's goody bag. Now that was priceless - literally.
There are many truly priceless moments that can be found. Visa isn't accepted at any of them.
- Watching the sun set - priceless.
- Dancing to those old records - priceless.
- Building a snowman - priceless.
- Looking at family photos together - priceless.
- Decorating for a holiday celebration - priceless.
- Helping others - priceless.
- Eating a simple meal at the table - priceless.
- Sleeping in on a weekend - priceless.
- Realizing your retirement dream because you saved your money wisely and avoided debt - priceless.
