ya that's all fun and games while your 20....what the fuck are you going to do when you're 30+?
plus all the people buying nice clothes and living in nice downtown apartments and being in the same scenario...sure you looked and lived the part for a few years but that's not going to get you anywhere when you're 60
trust me i understand the desire to "live the life" but i'd rather live my life....

I've got a few friends who work in financial management and higher end investment management and he says you'd be blown away with the amount of people even in their late 40's/50's who make 250,000+ and in some cases two incomes over 200,000 and they have nothing in terms of investments or retirement funds.
Says they look into their financial planning and you see automatic payments for mortgage, Mercedes, BMW, lawn care, country club dues, yet they have under 50k in savings. Doctors and dentists etc
