My income far exceeds what I live off of. I am single...and own every thing I have. I do not have any payments other than property taxes...hosting payments...home owners insurance...truck insurance...health insurance (even though I have health care through the VA for free)...cable and internet service...no phone bill as I use Magic Jack...electric bill...water bill...and garbage bill. I buy what I want to buy...when I want to buy...and pay cash. I usually do not spend any more than $2000.00 per month. I have more money in investments than I will ever use in my lifetime. I am not into accumulating material things just for the sake of having material things...or into spending money just for the sake of spending money. I live as comfortably as I want to live and if it were not for my health I would be a happy person.
I am entertaining the thought of buying another motor home and making a trip to Alaska next summer...but this will depend upon my health at that time.
