Dual Incomes No Kids - These two lovebirds seem like they have a good thing going. All the money they would’ve spent on daycare, sports, school, clothes, yada yada instead went to their personal happiness. But how rich are they really - driving a Ford Escape?

They are probably spending their money on dope.
Sometimes we are better of when some are not reproducing.

TRUE richness is measured in many ways other than MONEY. Saw1
I have four kids (grown and gone) and three grandchildren, just enough money to get by and I am as rich as George Bailey.
I would much rather have the kids and all the trouble and all the worries and all the memories than all the money I spent.
Psalm 127:3-5 “Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.”

Amen LS. They are a blessing.(some more than others though)
Ahhhhhh! to be so judgmental by looking at a decal on the rear window of a automobile. Who knows they may be too old to have children and maybe they didn't want any. There are many people that aren't of the nature to have children..
BUT - they are telling all viewers they have $$$ instead of kids.
That's not a judgement, it's an observation

Doesn't have to be kids either. Lots of other riches besides kids and money. What about friends? What about other family members, health, happiness and so on. Just sayin, I'm just thankful for what I have.
You guys are always able to resolve these minor issues... I am so grateful to be part of this forum... Where has it been all of my life???

I agree brother. I truly feel connected as much as family to some on here. Thanks to those of you who show care and respect to each other, it does make us like family. And we are all some on here have.

Our great grandson brings all five generations of our family much happiness. He is one ornery pistol. Money is just a tool like a car
Baggin' on folks for expressing themselves with an OBVIOUSLY humorous and sarcastic sticker ? And questioning their wealth, based on the vehicle you see ? They could easily have a pair of matching Porsches in their garage and take vacations you and I only dream about..... but they're running to the grocery.... that's what the Ford Escape is for.
See ? It's far too easy to allow yourself to place YOUR IDEA OF RICH or your priorities on others without knowing the complete story......and , there ya be...makin' judgement calls on them.
You had better hope they don't do the same on you....."well the guy who owns that truck is obviously a slob, that truck hasn't been washed in months"...or...."look at all the stickers...must be a hippie, there's a Grateful Dead one !".
Can you see how ridiculous it is to make ANY KIND of assumption, based on the driver's choice of window adornment ?... hope so.
btw...I clicked on this thread, because I thought it was going to be about "tiny fish being caught"..... LOL !! See.....so easy to get led astray, huh ?
