[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All these $25,000 budgets seem to leave out car insurance and car maintenance on the cheap car you own, home insurance real estate taxes, and home maintenance costs on the fully paid for house, college savings for kids, life insurance, and any kind of emergency spending, like if a relative dies and you need to fly to a funeral.

This is the OP - and that's how it seemed to me, too. These things that are a pretty regular part of life - tickets to go see family or to go to a funeral, car expenses (which come up even if you have a cheap, pair off car, like we do), etc. I totally see how you would forego some of these things if you had no choice - if you just did not have the money. But I have a hard time imagining how you tell family you aren't coming to see them this year, or you are missing a funeral, because you're spending as little as possible so you can retire early.

I guess as the previous posters said, it's priorities. I suppose I'm more of a grasshopper?[/quote]
