Today, I am in better financial shape than ever because of it. I can afford Jets club seats, Isles season tickets, Marriott Vacation club, etc.

It's sad and ironic that people who come here to complain about other people spending their own money are really only hurting themselves. It's a lost opportunity to be doing something more productive or enjoyable and all the negativity can't be good for their health.

Outstanding post!
