I decided to stop at Costco to grab a couple items, while the wife waited in the car. We parked far out in the lot, as usual. A new Accord happened to have done the same. When I returned, my wife proceeds to tell me about the family of four who belonged to the Accord. As they walk past our car, the young daughter asked what kind of car it was. The father replied that it is a Corvette, a car that rich people who have more money than sense, drive. About that time, the mother noticed that my wife was in the car, so she tells her husband to shut up, that someone is in the car. My wife says that they then circle around our car as they leave, staring at her.

It made my wife uncomfortable as she's a very humble person. We're not rich, and we've worked hard for everything that we have. I swear - stupid people and their stupid comments.

It used to **** me off to no end but I really just don't give a **** anymore and life is gooood

The father cannot have what he wants because of the cost of the children in plain english. I read posts here that amaze me.....but I was a young man once too.....posts from young men happy with their lives and wives/girlfriends. For most of us that happiness evaporates as soon as we give in to the demands to "start a family".

If a man makes enough money, and few really do, to afford the children, all their junk, and the wife and all her junk and STILL have money left over for his junk he is fortunate indeed. A young man's vette that his lady loves and supports him having suddenly becomes an unnecessary expense that inhibits the college fund when the crib is full.

If you like your toys and want to keep them get a vasectomy pronto. My best advice to younger men.
