A few pages back you boast about "owning" a bunch of stuff, and then now say you have 3k in credit card debt. Do you not have the spare cash to pay that debt off right now? Are you living paycheck to paycheck? How much does that truck payment cost you each month?
This type of lifestyle is terrifying to me. You're one emergency away from total financial ruin.
I mean good on you if you're happy, and I'm sure the house will end up being a good investment, but I just don't understand this being a measure of "success".

I'm not saying be like me, I'm saying being responsible involves suffering
So I didn't see the purpose of using an analogy comparing meeting one's agreed upon financial obligations to suffering from polio
(truck payment is 300/mo, if I fail to meet it they repo the truck. Any home emergency I have homeowner insurance, for example I had to use this when my tree fell on my house in a storm. For medical emergencies my health insurance will cover 80% after my deductible, granted open heart surgery would still be catastrophic. It's more like a series of bad events rather than 1 that would ruin me)
