Great breakdown. I actually had an article published a number of years ago in a national financial magazine on a similar topic. We have more and more and more in our lives and then wonder why we can't save for the future. If we would just simplify our lives and get rid of some of the crap we don't need, we'd be in far better shape.

Ya know, I've always felt bad for the fractional family members... I know if I was that .6 of a person in the family, I'd feel pretty ripped off!!
