They act like Dave's come up with something new every time he tells them to sell the cars and buy a couple of beaters for cash, sell the 50" flatscreen, ditch cable service, etc. and concentrate on getting the house paid off.

People are amazed that we have no credit card debt, no cable, two paid-off cars, and are more interested in finding ways get money for the things we want than finding ways to spend money we don't have on those things o they can haunt us later. Once the house and my wife's student loans are paid off, we'll be in pretty good shape.
