I Want It And I Want It Now

And it is quite readily available.

I Want It And I Want It Now

 

By Elton Camp

 

If the above in e-mail subject line does appear,

That the sender is a loser couldn’t be more clear

Disaster awaits any foolish enough to try to meet

Thus, most immediately will punch up “Delete”

 

It’s also true, in finances, similar principles apply

Yet, to have what is harmful we may decide to try

That new vehicle that is so far beyond our means

Is charging a steak dinner when we should eat beans

 

And also, should a finer house I try to make mine

When the one I already have is actually just fine?

The clothing store is offering a really huge discount

However, do I need to spend like that in any amount?

 

Do I eat many of my meals in some quite costly café

When my feet under my table at home need to stay?

The “name” university costs $50,000 tuition a year

But how about the state university that’s right here?

 

I’m no miser and enjoying having nice things too,

But at the end of the month I can pay what is due

So that by financial folly you won’t become floored,

“Just say No” to expenditures you can’t well afford
