What made me a materialist was not the wonderland of college but seeing close friends of the family slip up and see their lives spiral out of control because they didn't have enough money.

Money doesn't matter when you're 21, and rich in health, family and friends. Money matters soo much when you're 56, tired, boring, and have a bad back.

I'm picking up what you're putting down.

Pretty much the same thing happened to me. I wish I wasn't so late to the party, I could have had my house paid off my now.

Still, I dream there was a less stressful way of going about it all.
