Well bro, I like you but.. I think you are the one that needs to 'get a grip on reality'. I don't think you realize just how fortunate you really have it. I know you probably work hard for your money, I did at your age. I worked 3 jobs while I was in college to pay for my new car(3 yrs old when I got it), apartment, tuition,
FOOD.. the list goes on. I paid for everything. I started working for UPS when I was 19(one of the 3 jobs I had) and I bought my first house at the age of 24(which I'm proud of). I have all I can afford right now.. a bike, 2 trucks, a blown n' stroked mustang, big screen tv, 2 houses.... I know how to handle money. I didn't have money when I was 19 though.. because I was trying to live. I'm not blasting you dude, I wish I was as fortunate as you are. You must realize that you have it better than, lets say 90% of the folks here(
that is not a bad thing). I actually felt bad(can you believe that) when I saw the list of things you have and your tv was actually bigger than mine. Petty things, yes. I deliver to people with huge houses, bigger than the one you live in. I could go on but I'm not.... you just don't understand because you haven't been there, I understand that. I'm proud of what I have and you have about as much as I do at about 15yrs sooner than I got them. You have to realize that alot of people are without jobs right now and that means there family is hungry or homeless. You don't have to worry about your job, you have a place to stay.
I don't know if you will understand what I'm trying to say but I didn't mean to make you feel bad at all. You should feel good, you have it better than let's say.... anyone I personally know off-hand.
I had a V-Max at the age of 21 and it was paid for with cash, only liabilty insurance too. I know where you are coming from..
