Default Re: How many americans are frugal

My husband and I are 31. He has a problem differentiating between what he grew up with vs. what he has. He wanted to move out of his parents' home and step into the same level life style. It's been hard for him to realize that it took his parents 35 years to get where they are. His philosophy on credit is that everyone has it and that we aren't the worst case scenario. Yet he wants to have a large savings and retirement plan.

I hate being in debt and always have. Two house payments and lost income got us where we are and I am still trying to dig us out.
