Me neither. Even when I was making gobs of $$$ during the dot com years, I drove a Saturn. Loved the thing because:
1) it got good gas mileage,
2) it started and I never had to replace shit,
3) it had a decent stereo
4) it was so cheap, I paid it off 2 years ahead of time
I don't care for stuff, other than fine electric guitars. But I only allow myself to own 3, so they get traded and/or sold.
We're currently renting so don't own much stuff. Our toaster we got from Salvation Army for $5 so we have no idea how old it is. We do have a pretty nice TV we got from one of those keeping up with the Joneses people for $50 because he had too many TVs. We also have Klipsch speakers from that same person because he had to empty out his storage unit to save money and was getting rid of everything. Price? Free.
My slacks I got from him as well and my shirts come from Salvation Army. $4.88 for some pretty fucking nice shirts (Nordstrom). Socks and underwear, I buy new from Target though.
