The Economy and Olympic Expenses, (it is almost Aug 2nd )

Now that Apple has more cash than the USA and August 2nd is right around the corner I'll touch upon the topic of money.

If you asked me to give an exact itemized list of my Olympic expenses, I'd have to decline. But I'd return home after some Olympic Games with more money in my wallet, some with less and some I simply broke even. Having been raised by parents who some considered upper middle class yet having been a single parent with little help, far away from any home support, I've learned to do something almost everyone in the world needs to know how to do, to be frugal.

Generally I get only what I need, not what I want. And most of the things I want do not cost money. And even if it is hard to believe, that is true for the Olympics as well. As I have mentioned in previous posts, the festivity in the host city has always been spectacular. From Theatrestrasse in Munich to Darling Harbor in Australia, much of the host city's festivities would be enough even if you never were able to purchase a ticket for an Olympic event. And of all the Olympic Games that I been to I have never met anyone who couldn't get a ticket to at least one event! So if you have a block about going to the Olympics and you know how to be frugal..think of the Olympic Spirit and.just go. When in doubt DO IT!
