I have to add a few things guys,
1)Unless you work for a sizable company, your insurance will cancel you in a heartbeat If you get really sick.
2) in the 70’s none of this spend less than you earn stuff would have worked very well for you.
(buy now you will be able to afford it later worked much better in most cases back then)

The last 25 years of mostly low inflation are really the exception,

Was anyone here earning a living back in the 70’s,

Just curious, back then you always tried to buy more of anything than you could afford (because that is what worked),
