Not me, I’ve got close to half a mil in savings all on a modest salary. Don’t spend a lot basically but don’t live like a Scrooge either.

Good for you. Rule of thumb I was taught in the Reagan years, is pay yourself first. That meant put some up every payday religiously. The thing that irritates me is how the FED is killing savers and in order to get a return on your money you have to put it in the market which I do not trust.

However, I do have some money in the market and it gets scary at times. Made some and lost some. Give me the good old days when you got CDs that paid 8%!
