Message: [QUOTE="Huge, post: 2859368, member: 1992"] It comes down to what you value. I drive an 11 year old Commodore. I can afford a luxury BMW but the old dunny door runs well, ac is cold, stereo is fine, power steering doesn't leak so the only real reason to massively upgrade would be...mmmm, ego I suppose. My house is humble too. I've been earning substantial cash for a fairly long time now but I still live like I'm on a much smaller wage. Just because a footballer gets big dollars should not mean he needs a huge mortgage or a mega car. Most of the time my bank account has nothing more than a couple hundred in it, the earnings go to paying down an investment....and THAT investment wasn't taken on until I owned my home. This ensures if the worst should happen I can sell the investment and still have no financial concerns. Where people get in trouble is being over extended if something troubling happens. A three year contract for a footballer, like Moga's for example should be ample to gain real security...just as long as the home is modest. Thinking you are entitled to the best of the best in everything completely misses the point. [/QUOTE]
