Someone is about to call you a consumer whore. Wait for it.
Ah yes, ATOT: Where everyone has 850 FICO scores, 100k jobs, but doesn't spend it on anything

It's dumb to be successful to have nice things?
Wha...huh?

I might have misunderstood your post. I thought you stated it was dumb to have a big bank account...I think you meant it was dumb to want a big bank account JUST to brag on ATOT. If that's the case, my apologies.
LOL. FICO close to 800, less than 100K although, with OT, have made it a few times....and spend very little money on anything. Have two kids entering college soon so I can't afford to, lol (or loc - Lots-o-Crying).
Haha....well that is a good reason to not splurge on yourself. That is why I am having a hard time having the SO pop out a kid. The selfish days have to end.
I'm not ready for the vacations to end!
You wouldn't believe the PhD Engineers, back when I used to work at Lockheed and the 10 yrd old POS honda's and VWs they drove. All made over 200K.Which is perfectly fine...if you cannot afford to have nice things, or otherwise dont care.
I didn't find a great career path to drive 8 year old Honda Civics.

Seems they understood mathematics and compound interest rather than a depreciating asset.

That's the one thing that we still spend on and that is one or two yearly vacations. Don't spend huge amounts of money on them but we do take a few trips a year, especially if we can find a bargain.

I'm sure they had something they spent the money on. Personally I am sitting on a 1.9% interest rate so that really doesnt concern me.
If they made 200k and rented a shitty apartment and drove a crappy car, I would say they didnt understand that you can't take money with you when you die.
So are you pounding the P in reality or just here?![]()
Where Zebo wins in this equation is that he does not plop down 30 grand for a car to begin with....he takes your car, after you trade it in, and buys it for $3,000 and drives it just as long as you drove it, at 1/10th the cost.

I have no idea what my credit score is, I make ~$80k a year and my living expenses haven't exceeded $500 a month since I joined the Army. Someone was asking me earlier if I received reimbursement for a trip I took back in January. I said I didn't know. He asked how I could not know if I received a payment of ~$400 and I told him I hadn't looked at my bank account since Christmas. He was flabbergasted.
I'd give up $1000\mo of pay to live in a place where I COULD spend some money. The nearest casual dining restaurant chain is at least an hours drive away. :'(
You have internet don't you? Go to slickdeals.com they will teach you how to spend money.
