My hats off to each of you. I think those of us who have been around a while forget our times were different. Even though there are only 15 to 30 years difference, that is a huge difference in incomes. I recall back when I got my first job the hourly rate was only 3.60 an hour (kings Dominion in VA 1985). The vehicles were not as expensive, but for a vehicle of this calibur they were not cheap enough. We did not have computers at home to occupy our time and for me, my father was not in the upper income bracket.
Younger people now a days have many jobs they can do and earn a premium doing them (i.e...computers and telecommunications). With the help of at home living and premium incomes younger people are able to get things faster than we could in our day. It still requires the same dedication and commitment to savings as we had to do, just not as long.
Great Job to those of you who are younger, and who have chosen to follow your desires. I look forward to meeting you at a light some day to teach you experience is only improved by time. There is no fast track...LOL!
Let the rubber melt on the asphalt.
