For example, I lived in a dinky studio with a bed, cheap Ikea table, and my dinky 20" screen TV for just over a year. The rent was fairly cheap and affordable. Because I had the self control I was able to save up for a pimp plush condo that I just move into this weekend. I actually have more money than I expected so I went out this past weekend and bought a sick sectional and dinning room table. Its all about the delayed gratification. If you can make a sacrafice and cut back on thing for your ultimate goal, thats the way to get what you want. You don't have to make a ton of cash, you just have to be smart with you money and what you buy.
Well right now i'm doubling up on my car payments so i can have it payed off by summer of 08. My ultimate goal for right now is saving up for a nice down payment on a car in the 1st quarter of 09.
