Quote from Zoe Moon :
My car is 12 years old and DH's car is 10 years old. We didn't take a vacation last year, although that was mainly due to Squeak being sick. We purchased our house knowing it needed a new kitchen, updates/repairs to the bathrooms, new doors and windows. We haven't done the kitchen yet because we had a lot of unexpected expenses come up last year and we didn't want to stress out our elderly/sick cat. We're living on one salary at the moment although I may have to go back to work at some point if I can find someone willing to hire someone my age with lots of work experience but no degree and if the job makes up for the loss of my free insurance through DH's company, which I will lose if I work.

We do have a trip to Paris planned for this year with a side trip to see family. Don't know if the kitchen will get done this year or if I'll have to put up with it slowly falling apart for a while longer. We're not rich but we do try to enjoy ourselves. Not having kids means we have more money to spend on ourselves. Plus we're pretty frugal other than taking vacations as we rarely eat out and don't have a lot of toys and we put off buying things that are needed/wanted until we can get a slick deal. Does that cover all your questions CC? laugh out loud

I have a lot of "stuff", but I am nowhere near rich. My house sucks compared to what it would be if I spent the same today as I did eight years ago. I haven't had time for a real vacation in years, so I don't even know what it would cost me to say if I could afford a good one. I don't have to worry about money to pay bills, but I can't go get stupid with my spending. I would say I am solid middle class. Sadwalk

There are some "wealthy" loungers who happen to post prolifically about their wealth.

Most of us are in the same boat I'm guessing. Smilie

Middle class is not that bad. I'm lower middle class but thats not so bad either. Just means I have to save a little longer for extras and pray nothing unexpected happens.

Long story made short, The more money you have the more you spend. I was just curious how many loungers were well to do. I do see a lot of trips a and extras our lounger partake in and thought it was kinda funny for a deal sight that help you save money. that's all.

Just because someone has a high income doesn't mean they shouldn't be smart with their money. If you spend all you make you'll never be wealthy.

Cupcake, you are no different than many others here, many live as you do, and many live far below what you do, and many live above what you do. What makes the difference is how you handle how you live - and whether or not you are "happy" - do you wake up each morning and say "I'm happy" - I have a good family that loves me, and I love them - I'm proud of who I am and my family as well. If you are able to say this - you are already "wealthy". There are far too many people I know that are filthy rich wealthy - and hate themselves and their families - not worth it Nono2
