Well me, personally, I have a different situation from most 9-5'ers. I'm a full time firefighter. Therefore, anyone who knows how our schedule is, we only work every 3rd day, which equates to only 10 days a month. With my vacation, holidays, etc...I may only work approx 7-8 days a month. I'm also a nurse, the remaining 20-23 days of the month I work at an orthopedic surgery center to support my toys. My firefighter salary takes care of the necessary bills, mortgage, etc and 100% of it goes to the family bank account. My wife told me as long as nothing gets cut off (utilities) and the house doesn't go into foreclosure she doesn't care what I do with the nursing salary. I've been a firefighter for 18 years and have achieved the rank of lieutenant, so the salary is nice and is plenty to keep my wife off of my butt. I've been a nurse for 10 years and that salary is nice too with unlimited overtime to be made. The nursing salary affords me to buy car stuff, do other shopping that I want to do and pays for anything fun pretty much. I could've been lots farther along on my project, but I started buying other things like my gun hobby. I've bought a couple of expensive, high powered rifles, etc. I also bought 3 other projects that I don't have listed here in my signature. As if I needed other projects. One was the 72 RS that I had in the for sale section. LOL!!
