The $25,000 Bouquet of Roses

Today, I happened to stop by a flower shop near my office and pick up a dozen long-stem red roses for the foyer of my investing company’s headquarters. Not thinking that it was near Valentine’s day, nor really paying attention, I selected a dozen premium flowers and, upon paying, realized I had just dropped roughly $93.50. That would have been fine, except it wasn’t something that I expected – but it was too late.
