I spend my share of moolah on tea. Not all at once but I do spend too many nickels and dimes for what I drink. Just like yesterday at my local tea shoppe first Black Friday sale on teas. I had to stand in line to buy mine. I use to blame it on Capitalism of Excess. If you can afford it you can buy it. For millions of years our hominid ancestors were hunter/gatherers. It just crystalized that my tea collection is not greed but an ancient desire to hoard more. I watched two authors present their new books about Ayn Rand a couple of weeks ago on CSPAN. She couldnt explain Capitalism as being the natural way of doing business. Im not sure what she would think of derivatives or credit default swaps. So Ill collect more tea instead of licking on a gold coin.
