agree....Originally posted by Gordonator:it doesn't matters on how much one earns, it depends on how much one saves.
for instances A earns $3000 a month, but A smokes, drinks, goes to pub, materialistic, takes cab to work everyday and hardly save any money each month.
on the other hand, B earns $1700 each month but is thrifty and after spending on his monthly expenses and personal needs, make an effort to save $500 each month.
so in the end, who is the one better off?

A can afford to be lavish, B cant
