We share the same viewpoint. Everything in my world right now evolves around the quality of life for my 14 year old. I see that being the case until she graduates from college. Then I plan on buying a plasma tv for me (of course she wants one now but too bad) :o)

>That's really funny because I actually have none of those things! I go out to restaurants a lot. I like to do creative stuff, so I have paints, clay, easels, tools, etc. But first and foremost is making sure a 7 year old girl is well taken care of. I would live in a ditch if it meant her quality of life is good. Fortunately, it is good and I don't have to live in a ditch.

>>>I make significantly more than that and I'm single. Where's all my money! Oh, wait, you said something about it depending on your lifestyle, didn't you? <g>
