I am removing my list from this site.

I am done with trying to present gift ideas that are rarely read and that I probably do not want or will not use.

The few things that I am sure that I want are either very large expenses (on the order of tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars) or are nebulous enough that small consumer items will not address them (security, peace, stability, simplicity, etc.).

Consider these examples

• Mortgage - 115-120k
• Tom's student loans - 55-60k
• Becky's student loans - 102-110k
• New and properly built bathroom - 20k
• New and properly built kitchen - 60k
• Heat pump heater for the house - 30k
• Heat pump water heater - 2-5k
• Upgrade to 200 amp electrical service, sub-panel in the garage - 5k
• Insulating properly the ground floor of my house - 5k
• Total = 394-415k

At this point I am not bothered by not having a list of small things here on this site.

In the end what you do with your time, money, and energy is up to you.

Spend those on making the world a better place for people who may not ever know you or be able to pay you back.
