If you don't enjoy what you're doing you will be more apt to spend money on frivolous things. Then again it's also important to set aside SOME money for "wasting" whether it be on your children, yourself or your spouse because it keeps you balanced and rewards you for your hardwork. I think what everyone goes thru when they are young and have any sort of financial success is that they think it will forever be like that. Plus you want to have flashy cars/clothes/lifestyle etc. As you get older you start to smarten up and realize that financial security is much more important then any material object.

But the problem is guys have two heads. The one above his neck - that's the gun head, and the one between his legs - that's the butter head. Unfortunately, many guys think with the wrong head. :) The true gun is your head. But the problem is guys have two heads.
