UMMMMM - I understand what everyone is saying and I agree that one should live within him means and have savings. However, I want to know how I compare to others. Some of my friends think I'm rich while others act as if I live in a cracker jack box. I will admit that I like nice things but don't feel that I must have what others have (normally it's the other way around

) but hell I keep thinking that I may need to look for another job to make more money. I'm in the South and want to ensure that I meet my potential.
