[quote=Anonymous]I think it just comes down to living below my means relative to salary at any given time -- whether that was my biglaw salary or my government salary. Golden handcuffs come really easily if you don't watch it -- it gets easy to get yourself used to luxury vehicles such that a Honda just won't do, or make it so that you can ONLY shop at Whole Foods and Giant then seems gross to you. I don't take it to the extreme though -- 401k savings are maxed out without question and there is additional liquid savings after that, but I haven't taken it so far that I'll only eat out if friends are going. For me -- cooking isn't my thing, so I'd rather spend $10 on getting dinner some nights rather than eating a grilled cheese. So I indulge at times while keeping the overall savings goals in mind.
