Did you splurge on anything

[box_beeyotch]

Women my age suck. They have all had everything handed to them their whole life and don't respect men and if they are not the latter they have kids

That doesn't make them any less fun to play with.

And I see girls wo are 22/23 go out and get trashed on the weekends while they have a two year old at home. My generation is not solid

it is probably fair to say that men of this age are exactly the same. in an age where anything goes.....everything does. mainly old fashion values.

We bought a house but no didn't splurge really.

I've seen drivers go buy Lexus and Audi and Denali trucks the day they hit day 31. Not the brightest.

There is a new guy that been driving for about a year. He single and young must of wanted to impress the chicks and brought himself a used BMW for $18,000. A couple of months later he spent at least another $5,000 on repairs.

I told him expensive car are like boats all they do is cost you money especially when you buy them used.

That was also in the 1950s

No--- that was in the early 70's

We had a part time pre-load sup buy a used Porsche. He ended up with something like 30+ speeding tickets

Apparently there's a gal in our center that has had a couple cars repossessed out of the center parking lot....

When I started UPS you were up to full scale in 90 days. See people-----that's how a GOOD Union contract works.

Yeah, but what was top wage? $15/hr?

$6.75 an hour was top. The wife made $3.25 an hour working for the State. The first year we saved $10,000 and bought a 3 bedroom house on a nice lake for $18,000. My house payments were $98 a month. That included property taxes and insurance.

When you factor inflation we're really not making much more than that today, maybe like a $1.25 more in actual buying power.

I splurged on my 401k. I suggest you do the same. DO NOT count on a pension being there when you retire. PLAN NOW!

Unless it is the western conference plan....sorry guys this plan is in excellent shape
