Let’s play a game. It’s a game about greed, so let me just get that out of the way now. You are making a Christmas/holiday/etc wishlist. On it are six items:
- An item $100,000 or less
- An item $10,000 or less
- An item $1,000 or less
- An item $100 or less
- An item $10 or less
- And finally, an item $1 or less
What’s on your list? Keep in mind it needs to be an actual item you can buy (eBay, Amazon, whatever). And no gift cards. Mine would look something like this:
- 2009 Porsche Carrera 4S
- Samsung LN55A950 – 55″ LED-backlit LCD TV
- Canon Digital Rebel XSi – dSLR camera
- Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 lens
- A carwash
- 3 Subway chocolate chip cookies
Your turn!
