My GFs family and friends are all academics and also have no desire to own a nice car etc...in fact I am frequently told that none of her wealthy Dr and Prof frieds own cars like that. To which I retort 'so thats why they are so miserable and boring to be around'
All they seem to want to do is save for their old age.

If you sell a car you love because of your missus, you'll end up resenting her because of it.
Sounds like you're a lucky man, knowledge is worth a lot more than material things.The thing is she is from a family of university teachers whose main aim in life is to gain knowledge and not really have any desires for money. And she is totally like this.
Who cares what others think? Life's too short to worry about what someone else *might think.
If a car means more to someone than their wife does then they've got bigger issues to deal with!

Yep don't get that at all. I can understand not wanting to waste money but buying only books? What sort of woman doesn't want the odd nice item of clothing or visit a nice hotel and eat at a good restaurant? Certainly none that I'd ever be interested in and I bet that goes for most on here.
Excuse me, you are VERY different.I'm not!
