    I just don’t understand why they need so much stuff. I have a small SUV (Hyundai Kona), moderate sized house (three bedroom), and a small family (wife and baby daughter). I can eat what I want, go where I want and don’t need to worry about choosing between eating or having a roof over my head.

    I work a pretty average paying kind of job.

    Even if I had tons more money, I don’t think I’d want much else. At most I’d pay off the mortgage and secure a good college fund for my daughter.
