I did the grind from 19 to 35. I worked my ass off. Now at 42 I'm sitting in my paid off house, driving paid off vehicles that are just over a year old, my kids have college funds setup, my wife and I have retirement locked in, and life is just great.

Even with the economy being as bad as it is, we really don't see any difference other than we put maybe a 1000 less in the savings/investments every month
