5. I wish that Club was a whole lot closer.

I really can't and shouldn't complain about my lot in life - I've lived a very lucky one overall. It's just a good thing I was prudent and disciplined, because my wife and I - while not living extravagantly in the SLIGHTEST - run in the red, income-wise, about $600 a month.

We go out for dinner (pub food, typically) once a month, drink VERY little alcohol (can't remember the last time I had 3 drinks of any kind in one day and my wife doesn't drink at all) and drive very little. I'm not fond of travelling, so vacations are so non-exotic as to not exist at all, and I have enough clothes to last me a lifetime, quite literally. And still, we are under water every month.

A place such as the one you posted about would be very welcome, to say the least...although you'd need a phalanx of special forces dudes to get to it.
