Message	Here's how I do it: 37 years old. I bought a HUD repo home BEFORE I had a *fancy* car. I put 20% down, hence very low mtg payment. (<$700) Degree in Mathematics. 8 years experience coding in COBOL. I'm paid decently well, bue way less than 6 figures. 15% of my salary to my 401k $250/month into my IRA $____ invested each month. NO REVOLVING CREDIT. I take my lunch to work 3 days/week. Cheap dial up isp at home. Anymoney left over each month is just play money. Yet, my TT has just an intake and exhaust. Go figure. Tip from the old guy: HOUSE BEFORE TOYS Pay yourself FRIST each month: 401k and IRA. Todd (loving the rain, playing in mud).
