What’s the best part about all of the success Rascal Flatts has enjoyed? Depends who you ask.

People.com talked to Gary LeVox, Jay DeMarcus and Joe Don Rooney at a party in Nashville Wednesday celebrating the band’s 10-year anniversary and honoring the writers of their 11 No. 1 songs. Here’s what each one said about why it’s good to be them:

LeVox: “For me, the coolest thing is just being able to fill up my gas tank and not look at how much it costs. Half my life, I’d be digging around going, ‘I can get 6 dollars and 30 cents of gas.’ And if you fill it to $6.31, you’re picking up floor mats and looking in the trunk.

Rooney: “It’s cool just being able to go out to dinner with friends and family and foot the bill.”

DeMarcus: “The best thing is walking downstairs into my home recording studio. Sometimes when I’m not even using it, I’ll walk down and turn the light on and stand there and just thank God.”
