I drive an 07 Toyota Camry LE lol. My wife keeps her entire pay check because I am blessed enough to make more than enough funds to pay the cost of living.
We have no debt as we paid off our property as fast as we could and bought high quality items that were made in America (even our clothing) so we would value and treat our stuff right instead of "oh I'll just pop over to walmart and get another 5 dollar shirt from China)
We invest in different industries in the stock market and own quite a bit of precious metal for investing/shtf situation. Began stocking up on goods before covid hit.
We never trash junk food and spend local on things we want.
Credit cards? Have lots, don't use for the vast majority of items.
Middle America has a terrible spending problem. Poor people on the other hand have a discipline problem because many of them were never taught what money is.
The government hands it out to them, just enough to live like an animal while they set policy to destroy that very money they give em, creating an increase in the cost of life while decreasing opportunity for citizens.
It's a shitty mess of both personal decisions and government treason.

Nice, that is the way. Stay focused on the prize and don't worry about the Jones down the street and you will come out. Hat tip to you.
