Worked my way through college (2 jobs) with no debt upon graduation. Have been selling wholesale parts for a domestic manufacturer for 30 years since then.
I have 0 credit card debt (I pay it off every month). I have always lived within my means (got 21 years out of my first new vehicle ever -97 Explorer before she bit the dust last year).
Not married but I have a 16 yo daughter (way more expensive than pinball)!
I started collecting a few years ago. I slide a few hundred a month from my monthly commission check into my slush fund in case a wish list game comes up...
