I also have a bunch of people that pay for a valuation on their homes annually just so they can refinance their homes to pay for consumer debt.

I call this generation (mine) "Generation NOW". Getting things now just cos we can and not thinking of the consequences. I mean, I've heard of people on very average incomes with $70k in revolving credit facilities. I mean who needs all that? To put it in G&E terms, that's a whole lotta shorts........

/sermon over

Very true. In your line of work what do you consider average incomes? Is it around 50k? And you're from the bay area right Foppa? I wanna see how my salary stacks up. I get paid 50k a year. I am glad my parents taught me the value of saving money.

I have 1 pair of fight shorts and I use old athletic and basketball shorts to roll. I have 1 gi (a judo one so its not very expensive). The only thing I really spent money on were rashguards. I have 4 of them. I bought them for sanitary reasons.

yes, its an addiction... but also well within a very well thought out and planned budget. Instead of going out to eat and buying food and beer, I buy gear. Then again, unless I'm at work and wearing work clothes, I'm really just wearing clothes to work out or go to class in.

I'm trying to get addicted but I am cheap and stay within a budget. Addictions don't favor budgets. I just budget for my addiction. I like having running water, electricity and food at home.
