I make 95k and I have more money than I know what to do with. I have enough cash to live on for months. I'm in the green 2k per month even after taxes, mortgage and student loans. I don't know how you end up in a paycheck to paycheck situation making this much money. I guess it wasn't brains that got them there.. I mean: I have a dishwasher that you have to plug into the sink with a hose. My car is a rusty subcompact and has 120k miles on it. My countertops are plastic. Do I care? No. Not even a little. Why would you? My friends are all a bunch of hippies anyway, they wouldn't care if I had rock countertops either. When the bearing or the liners on my dryer die, I replace them myself. When am I going to buy a nice new dryer? Never, hopefully. And why spend money on a car? You're going to sit in traffic in it for 20 minutes a day. Who cares? I just don't understand the way that some people think. The only thing I would change, if I could, is that I would like to work fewer hours at the same hourly rate, so I could spend more time climbing mountains and playing board games with friends. I like my freedom and I like my friends. But having rock countertops would make no difference in my life whatsoever. And it really doesn't for you, dear reader, either, no matter what the glossy ads say. It won't improve your life.
