I don't make near what you do, and even I get grief for the money I spend. It's sad when I was going to buy a Vette or CTS-V for my own enjoyment but people around me started trashing me because I was "acting all baller" so I decided to get a fucking Jeep. Not that i'm complaining at all because I've always wanted a Jeep as well, but still. When they found out the Jeep was bought new, HOLY SHIT! They didn't realize I bought a 2012 that was in the back of the lot, the 2013's were out for some time and the 2014's were around the corner. Sure it wasn't exactly what I wanted but the price was one I couldn't refuse.
This country seems to punish those who work hard, keep their money by spending wisely and saving instead of living on credit to keep up with the Jones'. (Pun intended Joans!) I'm by no means rich but we are nearly debt free with the exception of our house which we under-spent on. It took us quite a few hard years of penny pinching to get where we are at and i'm fucking proud of it. It just pisses me off that the harder I try to get myself ahead, the more taxes they want to take and give to some asswipe who refuses to earn his own keep.
Fuck it, I'll get off my soap box and stop now before I really start ranting like a retard.
