I'm here in the NRAIA.net studios in New York.

Stand by for the O'Reilly Update Morning Edition.

On this Tuesday, let's talk about money since it's the season to be spending.

No matter how much cash is coming to you, it will not be enough unless you're disciplined

with it.

An example from me, your humble correspondent.

Earlier this fall, I wanted to get my house painted, big house more than a hundred years old.

On every big expense, I shop around.

Three companies gave me estimates.

$165,000.

$253,000.

And the third $35,000.

Now, I used to paint houses during my college summer days.

So I know something about this.

And I chose the lowest estimate, monitored the work the painters were doing, and it came

out fine.

I saved $30,000 by being disciplined.

Let's hope the paint job doesn't fall apart next summer.

The point is that money should be respected since most of us work hard for it.

Think about how you spend, because the more cash you keep, the more protection from bad

things you can buy.

In a capitalistic country, money can buy anything.
