It's not that they can't, it's that they choose not to. Buy a used car instead
of a new one. Buy one car instead of two. Instead of living in the biggest
house you can afford, live in a smaller house. Instead of buying a big screen
TV, buy a normal sized one. Instead of vacationing in Florida, vacation
locally. Stay out of debt. When you put something on a credit card and pay for
it over 10 years, it costs at least twice as much. Don't a strong financial
defense. You're in I.T.; you already have a strong offense. (Read Millionare
Next Door). Don't buy that swimming pool... get a pool pass. Watch football on
TV instead of the season passes.
Life is about choices.
