I Want It and I Want It Now

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
