When I was younger and just day dreaming, spending all this money on a car was nothing. Now that I'm working through the labor day weekend(I'll be up at 3am tomorrow) to earn the money I make, I'm not so interested in spending it quickly. I never want to find myself questioning if I'll be able to keep the house I'm living in. Hopefully, I'm not taking it too far and not living life at the same time but that's for a different thread.

Life does have to be lived -- but there's this thing called LIFE AFTER YOU NO LONGER WORK --- that seems to be getting stretched out longer and longer. I don't want to be 82 and working at McDonalds -- I want McDonalds to send me a dividend check!
What happens to ALL OF US -- is that we tend to SPEND early -- and Save too late.... and what we need to do is SAVE EARLY so we can spend later and be able to do that at a far higher rate!
