Oh, a car for sure. I remember in 1980 a guy here in town had 3 or 4 new Nissan 280 Z's for sale. My best friend had a better job and easily purchased one. I wanted one of those SO bad. I tried every way I could think of to afford one (2nd job, etc), but just could not do it. Since, I've owned a a 280-ZX, a 300-ZX (as a single guy), and now have a 350-Z (surprisingly, it was cheaper than a Prius!), which is the best one I've ever owned. It's scary fun!.

Okay, I'm addicted to SQL or something. I read the title of this thread, read the first post, and the first thing that popped into mind was that the company I'm working for is finally dumping the last of the SQL 2000 servers, but just by migrating databases to 2005 servers, no 2008 plans at all at this time. I'm looking at "by the time you could afford it, you didn't", and all the 2008 Enterprise-only features flash in front of my eyes. I truly am pathetic! 🙂

First thing I thought of in response to original question was how in the early eighties, my wife and I decided that as young newly-weds we really couldn't afford the $50-a-head tickets to see Frank Sinatra on one of his final tours. In our twenties, we were really more into rock and pop but certainly understood and appreciated his talent. Now, we have to remind ourselves that $50 then would be $500 now and that we made the only decision we could, but we still think about how we missed a chance to see a legend.

You know you are old when your friends and/or coworkers now have kids that you can legally have sex with
