I choose to have 2 cars and ***Gasp*** I bought a brand new one. I take very good care of my cars and I enjoy having a nicer car. Please, people try to keep some perspective here. You are not better or worse based on one discrete view of your finances. I agree, we could all save a little more for the future...but at some point you are sacrificing TODAY for TOMORROW. You may think that my post indicates that I am a spendthrift with an upside down mortgage and credit cards maxed out...Not the case. Bottom line...save, but not at the expense of missing out on life in your youth. I promise you that many of you spend lots of money on things I never would unless my life depended on it.
