[quote=Anonymous]Some people don't enjoy anything nice now and make all kinds of sacrifices so they have retirement paid for and then cancer and die when they're 50 so they never enjoy the fruits of their labor. Lame. I think there needs to be a good balance. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

My mom and step dad were pretty bad with money, bought a manufactured home, paid $13000 for new windows for it so they're more efficient, took out a second mortgage etc. My step dad died two years ago and my mom is living off his pension and SS with mortgage payments on a house that should have been paid off 20 yrs ago when they were both still working. The land was given to them by my step dad's parents. My mom is 73 now and quit working in her 50's. But they upside is they enjoyed their hobbies so their quality of life was good I guess. Some people just want what they want now, and have nothing to show for it later. Some people want what they want later and have nothing to show for it now. Or later if they die first. People just have different priorities.[/quote]
