I remember as a lil guy, going shopping with my Mom and seeing something I wanted. She would tell me no because we couldn't afford it to which I would respond, "Well, just write a check"!

I have bought a couple of cars, bikes on credit because usually there is some kind of incentive, ie, cash back or price deduction, no interest etc. Then when the first payment comes due I pay the note in full. One Harley I bought came with the extended warranty plan if I financed it. So I did then paid it in full.

Not a rant but I found this rather unusual. I have purchased many cars and motorbikes with a personal check but the dealer wanted a cashiers check or credit card. I don't get it. Some people would be insulted and I have to admit it did put me off balance for a second. Never happened before.

Again, drifting on the topic, but what I AM saying is that I worked at a job I hated for nearly 36 years (because I was paid very well for what I did), spent far less than half my disposable income, saved and invested, rarely went out to lunch, never had an expensive vacation, drove old cars and rode old motorcycles until I could pay cash, and retired at 58 with a pension and a healthy 401(k).
This year, after a health scare, I decided that I probably wasn't going to live forever, and bought two new Harleys. It didn't put a dent in my savings . . . Depreciation? If you're owning Harleys, you can't be too concerned about that .
OK, so NOW I'm being slightly LESS careful with my money
