[quote=Anonymous]Spender here. I'm going to pick up this book! DH and I both grew up umc, and my family's lifestyle was the same as OP with nice things, and nice vacations, but still frugal. My dad was a doctor, yet we still always and only stayed at the holiday inn on vacation... with a military discount! DH's family lived by spreadsheets, and are known for making pennies scream. They gave me roses at my law school graduation, and then sent me an e-mail the next week asking for $13 for them.... Now that, is not how I ever want to live. I'm working on being more of a saver. Do I really need to eat or downtown D.C. At work 3x a week? Hell no! It's easy to just swipe my debit card, because we both make a nice salary. For us, it's about finding a nice balance. I know bring my lunch, cook more dinners at home, and stopped buying pointless expensive workout clothes. [/quote]
