And again....we have a mortgage on a house with 300k equity, and just Patty's Subaru car loan. 3 of my 4 credit cards have negative balances at the moment. I'm definitely in the savings and investing mode for sure, but my ability to build pure cash wealth is still in full swing. |
but if you piss it all away on fun, there's not much left for a rainy day.
long ago i thought i'd work for the same place for 25+ years.....the nuclear power industry didn't pan out the way I had hoped.
hope you are setting aside some each pay day. your friends might give you a nice bottle of booze now and then, but they won't pay your nut when you get old.
