As a about to be graduate (May cannot come soon enough!!!) my husband and I are facing these little temptations every day. I have a wonderful almost 10 year old car my parents gave when I came college 4 years ago and I am very thankful for that. (it has its quirks, but just needs good loving and a to find that silly oil leak!). I must admit I have to avoid looking that the amazing yellow Toyota FJ's when I drive by the car dealerships! Hubby and I bought a (gently used) truck a little over a year ago because we live on a farm and putting horse feed in a SUV got old really fast! Thankfully hubby wants to move somewhere he can commute by bicycle and get rid of the truck! Yeah for a little sensibility on our family! I saw this on PaidTwice!

I believe there is nothing wrong with striving for more, to advance, and to have, but we need to be patient and let things happen in their own time. Status symbols are nice, but do they make us any better? By longing for which we do not have, we often lose appreciation for what we do have!

Get a better car! You said it all. When we make more money, we instantly upgrade our lifestyle. For no apparent reason at all. We have to let the world know that we are making MONEY !!

I ended up on the other end having a car and a lot of shiny debt around the time of the dot com implosion. I now wish I had some of that self control. Great story about having self control!
