We save as much as we can and can be frugal when needed. But with two teenage girls? It's hard to save a lot. But I've saved quite a bit over the years and neither of us will ever have to work a 9 to 5 job, it's still a lot of work and time having a ranch with cattle, sheep and horses.
That's a privately owned plane and was painted like that by the owner. I used that picture because that's the camo design I used on mine. Wish I could find some of my pictures but mine was painted from one of these German color schemes.
Yes, I think so. I'm into my retirement years .... I don't live a fancy life, but I'm very content and have made provisions for all my current and end-of-life needs.
Yes. I don't buy unnessairy things.

You best get off your tight ass and buy those girls cars!!!
How you gonna keep 'em down on the ranch, ♫
After the girls have cars...? ♫
(only a slight paraphrase)
I have always saved pretty good but after I sold my WW planes? I'm set for the rest of my life and my kids will do quite well when I'm gone.
I've had a super good financial advisor for years, so I know my money is doing what's best!
You would be totally amazed at what those people kept out bidding each other for my BF-109G as they are rare and only a few actually still fly.
So you own this?
Looks good.
"after I sold my WW planes" - How many planes did you had?
They still love them at air shows.
Oh I remember when you sold those...a big step for you, and I felt sad then too.
Yes, it was similar to that one but being an automotive painter most of my life, I painted it with more camo.
I also had a B-25 Mitchell bomber. Another great plane.
@ Rooster: What are the blue-white-blue stripes on the rear fuselage? They look like a Bavarian flag.
That's what the BF stood for, Bayerische Flugzeugwerke, but I didn't know they ever put the Bavarian colors on their planes.

I think I found the origin of the blue/white/blue stripes. They were used to identify Jagdgeschwader 300 towards the end of the war.

You're most certainly correct. This restored model has the same bands on it's tail fuselage.
This 109G-10 has them also.

We save about 15-20% of income.
