What’s this going to cost me?

There is always a price to pay.

If I spend my money without care or thought, I will pay the price of being broke.

If I pay the price of refusing immediate gratification, I enjoy the benefit of accumulating resources.

If I ignore my caloric intake, I will pay the price of weight gain and poor health.

If I pay the price of a proper diet and exercise, I enjoy the benefit of good health and ease of movement.

If I find pleasure in being the good guy with my children and refusing to enforce discipline, I will pay the price of disappointment and heartache.

If I pay the price of working hard to train my children, I enjoy the benefit of children who become productive, pleasant adults.

Pay me now or pay me later.
