[QUOTE="klein, post: 587067, member: 23950"] Got news for you, first of all I said "from a financial point of view", secondly, I'm single. I haven't had a long drive vacation since 1992. It's much cheaper and faster just to fly. Why would I need a new car (and car payments) just to go to work and back ? My house is totally paid off, and have been debt free for almost 4 years. Trust me, I thought about getting a new toy (like a Mercedes) with the mortgage payments I no longer make. But, life is more important to me, was gonna fully retire at age 53-55 (depending on my investments), because thats where my mortgage payments were going. Instead of going on a big spending spree, with $1019.00 extra in my pocket every month. I decided it's better to live my life as was, and then enjoy it 10-12 years earlier then the legal retirement age. (65). Thats responsibilty ! Think of the future, not just the current. Has nothing to do with liberal. I live in "redneck" conservative Alberta. I voted for them since I moved here in 1987. And I also voted for Harper (our Prime Minister, also conservative, and also from Alberta). And Canada is far from being a "socialist" country, compared to European and Scandiavian countries. And, I don't want it to become more social as it is. We are in a nice middle. Love it as it is. [/QUOTE]
