Most of us on this list own, will or have owned Mercedes for various reasons, the primary one being that we are frugal. If you can live without the latest and greatest of stuff, you know, reuse/recycle/use up and you don't have to keep up with the Jones you will be dollars ahead. I have made well over a million dollars (gross) all totaled over the last twenty seven years. I had almost $100k in a 401(k) saved in less than 5 years. Drugs/failed relationships and alcohol took all that away. Now it is time to do it again. I can and will save and earn from investment income enough to retire. It won't be easy and I am not fond of playing catch-up. It CAN be done, but you have to want it bad enough. You know, pinch pennies, invest wisely, delay and save for major purchases instead of using credit...If I, ( a middle class schmoe with no formal degree) can do it, so will you.... </soapbox> Rick Knoble 1985 300 CD
