I took a huge pay cut to spend more time with my family. Maybe the story is worth a separate post. Pinyo, I was making a lot more money at the time I joined the club than I make today.

That's a rich-man-club. I think I have to save a decade to get that much money. Holy smoke! $60,000? That’s a rich-man-club. I think I have to save a decade to get that much money.

Bravo to you for being able to stand back and look at your bad financial moves honestly. Most people just shrug their shoulders and keep doing the same dumb stuff. Interesting post.

As for my wife, since we were both broke when we got married, money was the last thing on our minds!

I'm not sure that your wife should be impressed that you married her for her money [management skills]. ;) Did you not feel a little sick when you started writing the check for $60K?

In my family growing up, we went from one financial crisis to another. I lived most of my teenage years in fear of losing our home and working summers to keep the family business (which was failing) going. These experiences have caused me to save and invest more conservatively as an adult. Lynnae, it is amazing how our childhood experiences can impact our financial decisions as adults.
