Boy Dave, you are sure doing things right. Many more need to follow your example. However, I know very few people in central MN who are making $100,000 a year combined income who live in rural MN. In larger towns and surrounding areas of St. Cloud and Twin Cites, yes. Outstate MN, no. Most I know are much closer to 50-60,000. I grew up in a home where $25,000 was the yearly income (in the 80's) and we made it just fine. I guess it all depends on spending habits. My farm accountant told me an interesting thing a few years ago. He said 90% of the people he serves are broke. Some just at different levels than others. He seemed to think that with many people, the more money they had, the more the borrowed beyond the capacity of their ability to pay.
