Last time I looked I live in the United States of America. If someone can make the payments it's none of my business what they drive or how big/expensive their house is. Do I look at some of those things and wonder why? Well I do. But then most of you don't live here. Here is the "heart of the lakes" area of MN where the highest concentration of lakes are. My county has over 1400 lakes. That means a lot of lake places. 40 years ago it was mostly small rustic cabins. Today it's 400,000 plus homes. And yea, some are well over 1,000,000! And these are peoples summer homes! They open them up in May and close them down right after Labor day! Some with 3-4 boats in the water that each one was over 30,000K on lakes that are 3X5 miles or so. As long as they are making the payments and not dropping the burden on us tax payers I'm good with that. Not uncommon in the spring or summer to see 80K SUV's pulling 40K boats. These people dump a ton of money into our local economy. I have friends who own businesses who rely on these people to make a decent living. I know others who rely on these people for jobs! No my wife's sister and her husband can spend money they don't have! Gotta have a new car every 2 years and not a cheap one. 45-50K. Gotta take vacations with their friends too. Everything is purchased with a credit card. But they manage to make the payments. The only thing that makes it any of my business is my SIL would like to pay some of that debt down and complains about it all the time. Now we live in an old farm house. We are good with that. 200 acres. It will be paid for in another 4 years. Payments are under 500 a month. Our vehicle is an 04 we got 2 years ago with 105K on it. WE own 2 boats. One fishing boat and a runabout, both older and paid for. No credit card debt. Most often if we want something we buy it. Heck I just finished building a playhouse for our grandkids. I spent over 2K on materials. Darn thing is nearly as big as our house....well not really bit it's 12X12'. Gives me great pleasure to watch them play. But as an American it's my choice to live like this. Could I buy a new truck or utility tractor? sure. I just don't like the payments.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work. I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery. I credit my parents for instilling a lot of good values, a respect for learning, a knowledge of various skills and a little knowledge of farming in me, amo
