[QUOTE="rod, post: 829412, member: 5382"] I totally agree with you Race. I am lucky enough to be married to a gal that HATES shopping and is also the one who pushes me to enjoy my retirement years. When I see these newly weds get married one day, buy $350,000 house and insist on owning a top of the line SUV for the wife and a decked out $50,000 pickup for the guy all within a couple of years I just shake my head in wonderment. I guess its all in how you were raised. My wonderful parents insisted that I pay for anything other than food, clothes and a roof over my head. I bough my own first moped, my own first car (and paid for my own insurance, gas and upkeep). My parents never told me I couldn't have something----they would say "you buy it- you can have it". It made me appreciate every toy I had. Except for 2 months when I got out of the Army I've had a job continuously since my 1st paperroute when i was in 4th grade. People tell me I retired too early---I tell them no- I started working too early. Now days it seems like little Johney or Suzie gets everything the want handed to them. I have friends who are 50 & 60 years old who still think they have to buy their 30 & 40 year old kids stuff------------------------and these mooches eat it up. Enough ranting----Happy Easter to all.
