[QUOTE="roadracer247, post: 15942242, member: 21803"] I get what the OP is saying. Bunch of young kids from Travis AFB riding around in platinum edition trucks and wives rolling in brand new Loaded Tahoe’s. It’s frustrating to see when I’m driving around in an older paid off commuter. It’s unreal the amount of people who have $60-80k cars/trucks. But at least I’m paying down my mortgage, putting money towards my retirement, deferred comp, & got solar installed so I can run my AC all summer. I’m also married with a one year old. Trying for a second. So there’s that too. Kids certainly make it more difficult to buy exspensive shit. I also did other small things that make a big difference month to month. Like my house is LED everything. I have all new HE (high efficiency) appliances. Plus, I’m in a line of work that offers a good pension. So I’ll actually be able to retire at 55. My parents spent their life in sales and lived paycheck to paycheck. They have no degree. Which is important nowadays because it’s an entry requirement for lots of positions. They will work till the day they die. My degree (BS in Fire Protection Administration & Technology) earns me an extra 6% a yr towards my salary. It’ll also be beneficial later in promoting. It all comes down to a decision. It’s either you choose to live below your means and have a little less. Or live above your means with constant debt. Which means you’re constantly going to be hustling. Nothing wrong with that if you’re interested. I’m not. It’s just a decision. [/QUOTE]
