Reply #14: Well, I think it would be good for people to live more simply ... [View All]

but that has nothing to do with Bush or Kerry. I just don't believe in the keeping up with the Jones's mentality, nor do I believe in buying the biggest house you can afford. I believe in postponing gratification, saving for big purchases, and socking away plenty for a rainy day AND retirement. I am a credit card company and new car dealers worst nightmare.

On the bright side, I do like to go out for dinner with friends a couple of times a week, I'm a generous tipper and I enjoy the live music scene here in Austin, so I belong to the "support your local musician" club. I just try to make a point to save money on things that aren't all that important to me, like lots of clothes or eating out ALL the time. I don't smoke and I drink very little.

By the way, I think the article is good, but Bill needs to ditch his mullet.
