Thankfully, when I was making good money, I socked most of it away. I've been living partially on savings/investments for the last 18 months. People thought I was nuts for buying such a small inexpensive house when I easily could have bought something 3 times the price. Boy I'm glad I didn't listed to them, lol!
I've also been able to keep a good credit rating - not something I had in 20's and I certainly learned a valuable lesson.
