>>1920552I'm a fabricator by trade. I used to build sandrails for Chenowth and chassis for mazda (Star Mazda series).
I was also in the Army which allowed me to save a fair amount of money.
I've never bought a new car or been into hardcore drugs- both those will suck away your cash.
I've had friends rent a 5 bedroom house that had a heated pool with a waterfall (along with their new mercedes payment) just to be impressive to the women they pickup at the bar.
I stuck with one bedroom apartments and cars that were 10+ years old.
They were broke at the end of the month while I just kept slipping a couple hundred extra bucks into my 401k.
