    		Not only do you get what you want - but you get what you want with all the perks too.

    		Actually, the old saying originally went, "You cannot eat your cake and have it too". Meaning you can't spend a thing and still have it.

    		This saying always drives me mad...what's the use of having a cake if you can't eat it?
