Materialism

I've paid off the bank loan. And that's that.

But then I began to think about how I could use the (extra) money now. I was/am tempted to have a credit card. Everyone around me has them. Even the boys have them.
I think I'm the only oddball around that still does not have one.

But it also got me thinking: have I thrown away my roots? Have I forgotten how to be patient and humble?

I should be ashamed of myself.
