I just love it how some folks feel it is their right to tell others how to spend their money. And try to shame them if they buy something nice because they can. I think qtla9111 was out of line, and is a prime example of the shame game.
I worked hard to get where Im at, and I contribute more mandatory contributions than many folks. And despite all mandatory contributions I make throughout the year, they still want more at the end of the year. I'll buy nice vehicles to drive, because I like driving nice vehicles.
