Take all that extra mad money and pay down the mortgage
Do without the frills for a few years... you will survive
Buy a good used car for cash... A new car is used the minute you drive it off the lot and depreciates what 25% ?
Set up a local barter system...
Your wife needs a new amethyst ring... I need my house painted... you don't know how to paint... but you are a car mechanic... so you find a painter that needs his truck fixed...
It does NOT matter if the exchange is equal as it is only your labor and a few bucks cost for parts... PROFIT is not an issue so value doesn't matter... You decide what its worth to you
This 'system' also falls 'under the radar' of the tax man...

Don't sign that loan for a vacation... find a different vacation that doesn't need a loan... you will feel better when you don't have to pay for it for the next three years
Don't buy that new car... there are plenty of great deals on used ones... that are much better value and will save you a TON on insurance(another created money scam) costs for collision replacement. Then you can laugh at the Jones next door for their stupidity...
I wonder if just 25% of people did that how the Car Manufacturers would react
Credit Card Burning anyone?
Too bad though... no one will listen... until its too late
