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.
Doug, don't get me wrong. My raise at the new company is a net of about 4k/month. I'm instantly bumping checking to savings transfers by another 2k a month, adding an additional 800 to the monthly mortgage payment, and now my 2021 C8 is paid for. I could afford the C8 easily way before the new job, and despite all the newfound money, all I'm doing is putting it away.

I will always have nice cars. Hell, I told my wife I could go buy a brand new Lamborghini today and it would have no dent on the finances, but I'm not mentally in that place anymore. I will have 1 Corvette at a time, and when it's paid for, I'll buy another. I will have a collection...GWiz will inherit it. I don't do debt anymore.
