    Keeping the priorities in order of course is what I have to keep reminding myself. I can justify a lot of the mods for my truck by 'needing them for work'. OME suspension here I come!

    Oh, and I save as much as I can. Of course.

    All jokes aside... I worked all the way through college when expenses were relatively low (and no I didn't live at home I had to pay rent just like everyone else). You won't see me dropping $200 every Fri/Sat at the bar and I now finally have a pretty good job that helps fund these types of things. All about priorities, and up to this point my pickup has been a pretty big one.

    Multiple combat rotations. The days of being broke in the army are over. If you get the right job you can make over 80k per year.
