stop with the holier then though. i'm wicked tight with my budget, its just that i have a huge loan payment. I have enough in savings to last a while but it is a steady trend toward personal bankruptcy
I don't think anyone has the rights to tell anyone how to live their life. I don't like the idea of buying things because I "plan" on upgrading or expecting a bigger pay check. My wife and I bought a house a couple years ago that's based on my 75 hrs of pay and her part time job. I don't have to worry about using our savings, everything above 75 hrs is put towards savings or entertainment.
