But if you want nice/new things: houses, cars, decent ins. coverage, it adds up like a bitch.
Yeah, but my consideration of nice things is a lot different than other peoples. I don't make close to 100k, but I think I live pretty comfortably and have nice things.

Right out of college my wife (fiance at the time) and I were making teacher salaries. Neither of us had car notes, and I had some student debt. We got a starter home and two new cars and were still able to max out our roth IRAs for 2 years. Do not ask me how we did it. But we were comfortable.
Now, I make almost triple that. We got an HD tv and dvr, high speed internet, 2 dogs, new furniture, kid on the way, etc. Home insurance went up 50% this year, we're both over 26 and paying our own health insurance now. We're putting about 12% in a 401k. And there goes all my monies.
