And yea tabs, it is nice to have enough money to be 100% debt free, and still have a comfortable income and investments and savings that are increasing. we go out to eat and drop 75 bucks for dinner fairly often. even on a typical friday night we eat out but a meal for two is usually 40 bucks minimum. A lifetime of both of us working hard worked out great. My wife is retired and i own a business that is growing and making money. I am damn lucky to have good health and the option to not pinch pennies.
I am a cheap bastage on many things. I drive my same el camino that i bought 27 years ago, and my 911 that i bought 22 years ago. I just bought a new lawn mower because my old 26 year old mower wore out. And i mow the yard myself and save the 50 bucks a week i would have to pay to have it done. I would rather spend that on a nice dinner out instead of some mexican mowing my yard.
I have been dead broke and lived on a buck per week on food, yea really. That sucked. Been there, done that, have the the t-shirt. Life is better now.

$75.00!!!!! My Dad took his GF and myself out to dinner once where I ordered a $7.00 desert..Banana's Foster...he never stopped Beothcing about it to me...Until I told him I had learned how to make it, and made him some...then he grudgingly said, "I guess it's OK then." My Dad was one of those "GREEDY" auto workers who died a millionaire.
Last weeks Prime Rib dinner was $14.99...and my dinner date paid for her own dinner.
