I am so lucky in many ways. I have been working since 1972 for a paycheck. I had been mowing yards since i was 12. I was a cheapskate and never could fathom spending the money on recreational drugs. I have not spent one single penny on any drug except the legal one, alcohol. For sure I have wasted many grand in beer. That is my one indulgence.

I bought my first Porsche when I was 19 and my house on my 26th birthday. I was single and had a mortgage that for my single income was large. I worked a regular job and shot wedding on the side.

I married a very smart lady and she understood retirement savings since she was the HR director at a local university. She is retired now and I now have great job with total flexibility and no down sides. I can't really imagine retiring and not having something productive to do every day.

We have zero debt at all and we each have retirement funds. We are far from rich but I never even look at the price tag when at the grocery store or at a restaurant. If I want something I go get it. My wife would love it if I came home in a new Cayman GT4. I sure can't say I don't want one, but I have no reason to get rid of my 911. After owning it for 20 years I am kinda attached to it.

How many toys can a guy buy, drive the hell out of, and have it worth double what I paid for it. A new Cayman would drop many grand in the first year. I am too dang cheap! I worked too hard for my money.
