The wife just graduated last dec. Before she grad. we made a combined of 35k maybe, now combined we both live off of 55k and Just bought our first home last Sept. 2000sq foot house for 109k. 3 BR 2.5 Bath, and 2 Car Garage. I've got some toys but nothing like other people.

I'm alot more comfortable now since the wife has a decent paying job. But I do spend alot more now too.
