I'm on the more traditional inverted parabola plan, I hope. Meaning that:
--When I was in my late teens and early 20s, I had few bills and money to burn (and boy howdy, did I!)
--Late 20s to mid-30s came marriage, kids, realization that I was behind the power curve on saving for retirement
--mid-30s (now) - mid-50s (ideally) catching up on retirement savings projections, paying for kids' extra-curricular activities, housing, taxes, pushing kids out of house (ha) etc.
--post-50s (ideally) all sorts of spare income to burn again, spending the kids' inheritance.
I do know a few perpetual bachelors who have all sorts of spare income to play into their vehicles. They're great guys in many ways. To each one's own, we all have highs and lows from the choices we make.
Until we figure out how to install halo lighting on our kids, we all have to pick between kids or cars I figure. Ha!
