• Great article and insights. Nevertheless, I have less confidence in the US economy and management of our monetary system. We are borrowing at an alarming rate, printing money like there is no tomorrow. Hopefully things keep moving along for years to come in the US, and all of us prosper however its always good to step back and do a reality check and not get complacent.

As for free loading young adults living at home, parents only have themselves to blame perpetuating this behavior. Send them on their way, let them figure it out.

• I have three cars ranging from 8-13 years old. All very dependable and still great to drive. My wife keeps encouraging me to buy a car I really want since we've always been rather frugal with our picks in the past. Nevertheless, with all the choices on the market, and the ridiculous price tags attached, I am easily dissuaded to stick with my current trend of running with my current vehicles until they die.

• Great article, causes me to do self-reflection, suffer from the same malaise. Been saving for retirement, more money than I think we'll need. 4 years into retirement in my early 60s I have a hard time loosening the reins and spending more. My wife keeps telling me, the options are clear, start spending or your leaving it all to the children(2), is that what you want? Lol!
