Last year i was in my fifth year in a small 2 bedroom apartment, and i wasn't spending any money (lived off wife's income and put about 90% of my income away).
This year, was able to see the pay off of all that by buying a big house, new car and truck, new furniture throughout the house, and I don't owe a single dime for any of it.
Started a new job this year as well, making a lot more money andit's been great working for this company. Wife started a new job too (Finally left the hospital after 7 years to work for a private practice)
Kids are doing great, my marriage is better and better each year that passes, and overall, I'd give my life a 10. Well, a 9.5 because i still come here.
