i frankly could care less what people have. i have friends that have all these things and ones that don't and it makes no difference to me. i judge a person on their character and values not what they own...if you have the money why not! i just want to see people being good people and doing what right in this world i don't think possesions make good people so i can't judge on the criteria.

I don't think it's wrong to have "toys" as long as you actually have the time to take care of all the boats and jet skis and whatever else one might have I mean it's kind of like having a big house you have to do upkeep on all this stuff. Unless it's something you really love like---fishing with your boat I wouldn't want to take the time to take care of all that stuff .

I am always happy for everyone when they get new things. I always like people to be happy in their lives. I don't think I am around any of the Rich who complain about their lives and has everything. So I haven't experienced that problem yet. I do find myself explaining for everything we buy to everyone. Even when I always come up with ways to get it before we actually buy it. I plan it all out. For example right now we just got new flooring put in, and a new patio set for the deck. That could be looked at as a lot of money spent. But in fact I had lots of $ in gift certificates for the flooring and I paid the rest myself in money that I saved. The only thing we spent was putting it in. For the patio set, I sold my old one and was able to buy most of the next set with the money I got from the old set. My mom is buying me two chairs to go with it. So then I explain this to people because I don't want them thinking we have all this money being spent. I hate that I feel that way but have a hard time not doing it. I guess I don't want to be looked at as having a lot of money but that I simply am just a thrifty person.
