But to give a smaller perspective.. I have been building my car for a while with profits from investments.. No out of pocket money..

I used to keep a larger rainy day fund because it IS the thing to do.. 6 months to a year's income..

But you get to a point that you can safely "park" the money somewhere, to get better yields than the .5% in the bank..

So, for a few years, i have parked my Rainy day money, and I made enough to pop on many upgrades..

I stopped for now to let more money "stew".. I will finish the car in 12 months , from those gains..

I am the small fish with much less money at work...Much, much, less..

But I try to share personal stuff too, to rally the troops with less money, or the younger troops..

Man this stuff works..I have another fund for travel...We spend the profits off that yearly. No private Jets, or World excursions, but first class lodging, ect... everytime..

I love to make memories, as much as having cool stuff..

I have some skills...
