Do you really think if you made more money you would be able to live within your means?

Yeah. I'm not into mansions and $70,000 cars. We do just fine on what we make now, if we made more the only difference would be is that we would both have newer cars (not a BMW, my hubs would probably have a new Ford Ranger and I'd have a Jeep Wrangler) and we'd live in a house. We wouldn't buy more or do more than we do now though.
