in gimli - i live like a king
I drive an almost new (bought it new) diesel jetta
i live in a 1200 sq foot house with garage for the car - i can see the lake from my house
i have a big screen tv - full cable - all my computers - leather furniture and great household stuff. TVs in both bedrooms
I go out for dinner 2-3 times a week
i have a gym membership
i eat high end steak and crab regularly
i travel to the city min. once a week and buy crap like x-mas light and other useless stuff
remember my girlfriend works - she doesn't make much - but she helps with the rent and food....
basically
it means i have one home instead of two....
i don't goto expensive restaurants - but reasonable ones... they are all pretty cheap here
i don't have my sleds, benz, boat etc but i hadn't used those toys in years anyway
to be truly honest I got my life BACK - i have a better standard of living NOW than before with the bar for the last 2 years.
i can't afford to travel as much - did goto BC with my brother couple months ago - drove there and let him use my car when he was there for 2 months - he bought my flight back for letting him use my car. borrowed my dad's old truck for that time.
and I will get my income back - working on that right now actually
