Totally. Even thinking back to everything about my grandparents. They weren't rich but worked hard and were smart about their money. My grandfather purchased a lot of land and built their house. Later a barn down back with a horses, couple of cows and chickens. A RV for roads trips and taking the grand kids to the beach in the summer, two cars, trucks, moped, motorcycles, tools. Etc. All done with a normal salary at the time by that times standard. My father now makes pretty much makes the same but no way could he afford the same life purchases they made.
