In another reply, I have defended my 3 luxuries, so I wont do it again
here,
but I have reason for those 3.


Chuck, do not give these people a platform by letting them question your
actions. Many folks who never had money problems and cannot understand


what

you are talking about either had the backing or were born with a silver
spoon in their mouth. I meet these assholes all the time. Ivy league
schools, mommy and daddy have money, inheritance, parents had money to


send

them to good and connected schools, etc. A small boost goes a long way


when

starting out in life - it makes all the difference and none of the people
earned it themselves. Many handle the privelege admirably, but many also
know in their hearts they never really achieved anything on their own


steam,

and they like to make themselved feel better by looking down on folks like
you.




Yea.. I think that I am done with this thread...

I have tried my hardest to explain to people that I understand what they are
saying and that I agree with them, but unfortunately, they can't understand
that some people are not able to have cash laying around and in an EMERGENCY
have no other choice but to use a credit card.


I understand that very well. That is why I suggest that people start
saving even a small amount each month towards building an emergency cash
fund.


But you are right, I think there are 2 or maybe 3 people here than
understand what I am trying to say and then you have the jerks that have
never experienced money problems and treat anyone that doesn't drive a
Mercedes and belong to the country club, keep their Barron at their house at
the airpark and go to the Playboy Mansion for parties like crap. These guys
just don't get it...


You are talking about that which you have no knowledge. I don't know if
you consider me in the two or three, but I'm guessing you probably do.
My daily driver is a 96 minivan with 160K miles. I have a 10 year-old
pickup I use for plowing my driveway, hauling firewood, etc. I did get
a 2003 minivan for my wife to drive as the 96 was getting to the point I
didn't trust it with her and the kids. However, I bought a stripped
down Chrysler program vehicle and paid only $13K for it. I've never
owned a luxury car and probably never will as I much prefer my pickup.
Likewise for the country club. I don't own an airplane because I built
a new house four years ago and couldn't afford that and an airplane
without going way into debt. So I sold the airplane to partially
finance the house. I didn't buy my airplane until my first house was
paid for. I hope to buy an airplane again, but won't until my current
house is paid for. Sorry to burst your bubble.


Matt
