In Reply to: I agree. They also don't state how much their mortgage - is or what kind of car they drive

Dont know 'bout the rest of y'all, but I live in a very tiny apartment. My car is 13 years old, and is going to have to last me forever. It guzzles gas, but it's paid for. I never eat out, I eat 2 meals a day instead of 3, and I buy my clothes at the Goodwill. A vacation? Fuggetaboutit! A 'vacation' is when I occasionally allow myself the luxury of watching the evening news on TV.
