    Buy this. I had the carrier remove the passenger seat and it gave me room. Get the lowest watt microwave that you can and you can run it all off the trucks inverter. Just make sure that the apu or truck is idleing while your using the mic. http://www.walmart.com/ip/42490111?...1922272&wl4=&wl5=pla&wl6=111811386752&veh=sem

    Keep living. You will realize that 7 figures is not enough.

    I could live on 1 million for over 30 years at about 30k a year easily if i owned my own home. Im single no kids and need very little posessions to be happy. When you grow up poor you are used to having barely anything , but when you acquire more money and things you appreciate it so much more. I can live minimal and be just as happy as living rich.

    Your Health Insurance and deductibles, if needed would take a BIG bite out of that. You better plan on a 600 SF "cabin" with no garage to keep the property taxes low.

    Having a net worth of a cool mill puts you in the top 99% of the country and that, means living minimal, or in a 600sqft cabin, or not having enough. Where are you guys getting this stuff.

    Nofreetime .... not all debt is "bad".

    I just bought my first house last year, at 27. I paid 80,000 for it with an interest rate of 2.41%. My payments are 451 per month. At the end of my 5 year term I will have paid about 7k in interest and the remaining balance will be 55k and change. I have the option to increase payments if I like. But I don't. Why? My money in investments is making me more than the 2.41% it is costing me for my house.

    Second part. You have to live somewhere, which costs money. Unless you still live with Mom and Dad or are happy to use a friend's address for tax purposes and consider your truck your "home". To me that is being too frugal. I like to save money too but I also like having a life outside of my workplace. To each their own, though.
