[TheForge] ABANA DUES

[Cindy and James]

I agree that $55 is $55 and $55 is more to some than others, and if you 
don't have $55, it can mean the world.  I was there once and with the 
Good Lord's Providence I never will again - so I understand.

But when you are starting out, you have to spend MORE to play catch-up 
with those established. 

We call this EDUCATION.  Education costs money, be it attending a 
conference, joining a group to learn what they know, going to school, 
subscribing to magazines, etc.

You can learn from the School of Experience and perhaps that is the best 
education of all, but it takes TIME and TIME = MONEY.
