[QUOTE="Brownslave688, post: 2990219, member: 34439"] And it's not just a product of ups. It's people in general. They want that instant deal. I can't tell you how many friends jumped on that 30k a year dead end job at 22-23 because they thought they were living the good life back then. While virtually everyone I know has been thru 4-5 vehicles the last decade the wife and I drove the same cars for over 10 years. I drove my high school graduation gift until I was 33 years old. We put off kids so that my wife could get thru her 8 years of school. We just bought a house (a real piece of junk fixer upper) that cost less than the vehicle we finally treated ourselves to. We are paying off almost 200k in school loans in 5 years while the rest of her coworkers put them off for 20 years. The point is since we made the unpopular choices when we were younger we've set ourselves up very well for the future. I told her last night if we stay in this house for a decade instead of the 5 years we originally planned we may possibly be able to pay cash for the 750k+ house she wants to build. That means at 45 I could have a 3/4 million dollar home paid off be driving pretty much whatever I want and be virtually debt free. All while most everyone else I know will be paying on their 3 bed 2 bath home well into their 50's possibly into their 60's and getting new cars every 5-6 years with a $500+ monthly payment. Sometimes following the road less traveled is very rewarding. [/QUOTE]
