I had nice safes when I was only making $22 an hour out of college. I view safes as investments, not just objects to store my firearms in. This isn't an "elitist attitude," it's called smart investing and protecting my investments.
I don't feel comfortable personally putting my investments in a cheap Chinese safe. I bought my first nice safe on a 0% credit card for 18 months. It was a little over two grand after tax. I was able to put $500 down, then pay the rest out of 18 months (actually paid it off early in under a year).
A lot of people just assume I got money from my parents passing. I did get a good lump sum mainly because of life insurance, to which I don't have to "save" anymore. I worked through college and paid for most all my education while in school. I lived at home with my parents. As stated before I started out at $22 an hour. At the time of their passing, I was making $100 an hour + time and a half, and get bonus on top of that. Hard working and smart investing got me to where I am today, not mommy and daddy's money....
