Pretty much the same here. And I married right because Mrs. Merkt is the same way. I don't care if everyone around me is in their shiny $60K truck either. They do their thing and I do mine.I'm cheap. I don't buy new or late model cars. I don't have an RV or a boat. I grew up cheap and that's just ingrained I guess.
There are worse things than guns to spend your money on. I can think of three right off the bat. Alcohol, drugs and tobacco. You don't get any money back out of those. I would throw gambling in there too for 97% of those who engage in it.
