Rent an apt, drive used cars, have student loans, but can easily pay for college and we take vacations wherever we want, and we have no appreciable consumer debt. I think we are just living lower than our means. I don't know what category that puts us in.

We could afford more - our rent is significantly less than 1/4 of our income. But why bother? Everything the media tells us we "want" is a big freakin' waste of money and feeds the corporate whores.

We save more than $1000 a month. Maybe that money will help us leave the country when they start putting people like us in camps. That would be better than a new car!
