Here’s a good one:

A man stopped off at the super­market to buy his son-in-law his favorite pie, sour cream raisin. The box had the $15 price stamped on the top, which he thought would be tacky on a gift, so he asked the man behind the counter for a marker to black out the price. Didn’t work—he was able to still see the price through the ink.

“I know what to do,” the bakery man said. “I’ll cover it up.” And with that, he slapped a sticker over the price that read “$2.98 – Day Old.”

Everybody loves a good deal. Some people don’t mind buying day-old doughnuts or cookies at a discounted price. Refurbished electronics often perform just as good as brand-new.

“Black Friday” is popular precisely because good deals are plentiful.

But what happens when you think you’ve bought a lemon – something that doesn’t work right or was possibly a complete waste of money?

Yeah. Suddenly that “good buy” doesn’t feel like a good buy.

P.S. It’s said that there are two things we can’t avoid: taxes and death. In my next blog, I’ll tackle the former. It’s definitely an important part of having a sound retirement plan.
