Maybe before commenting you should actually read and not skim over my post, what I have planned is very doable with what I'll be making. My stepfather only makes about 70kyr owns a 4BR home, H3, and 300M w/ a wife and 2 teenage girls. I was doing ok on 50k w/my current debt situation, without the debt and a 30k raise I could do much better. Maybe I just know how to stretch a buck better than most:dunno:
I wouldn't say it's full of negativity. More like realistic. I made plans to get a 911 Turbo and I will. I don't have any debts except the mortgage which is well below 6 figures now. I also own all my vehicles and don't owe anything to the bank. I set forth my plan back in 2002 and stuck to it. I also have enough savings to live the way I am living if both me and my gf were laid off tomorrow for 2+ years. You did mention saving 10K but is that enough money to keep you afloat for 6months which is the current "rule of thumb" with all the new expenses of a home and houses?
Just because someone doesn't agree with your "plans" it doesn't mean they are being negative against you. I will say that it's not easy sticking to a plan but the end reward is well worth it.
