Have style, not a lifestyle
Posted 1 year 3 weeks ago by Philip Brewer
I briefly worked with a senior technical manager whose wife also worked for the same company, but at a different site. They'd bought a house about halfway in between, but they both had long commutes. When I mentioned that my wife didn't have a regular job, he said, "I wish I could do that, but I need the second income to support my lifestyle." When I got home that evening I told my wife, "I'm sure glad I only have to support us and not a lifestyle too." When you get to the point that you start talking about your lifestyle as if it were an additional member of the household, you're far, far gone.
