Some of us we have no choice to pick the low hanging fruit. It's not about working harder vs smarter, it's about making ends meet. Inflation has risen on average 18% in the Phoenix area in the last 12 months. Homeowners such as myself love to see our home values increase, but with that brings higher property taxes and insurance premiums. I left a compititor on 7 year PIC payscale and took a significant pay cut to start over here at NetJets 18 months ago. A dollar went alot further then than it does now.
Senior guys higher up the payscale may have the luxury of having the take it or leave it attitude when it comes to VED. Those of us at the bottom aren't so fortunate.
