Sarah, I am the same way. I paid off my first condo less than 3 years after I bought it.. working as a waitress!
I still have it today and it has increased in value over 30% !
I dont have a nice car... but I dont ever really go anywhere.
I do buy alot of clothes... but all underwear... and (costume) clothing/underwear/shoes and plastic surgery I bought last year... are TAX DEDUCATBLE!!!
I think I am every man's dream wife... if only I wasnt so damn BITCHY, LOL.
