[quote=Anonymous]Set for life. Keep my education current and also diversified so I can transition to something different. Hold onto the attitude that job is below me.

Shopping/Spending habits:

- Most if not all clothing bought on sale for me. Try same for the kids. Always use coupons.

- Any good designer items at outlets and usually on their clearance racks to boot. They sell well, when you are sick of them. You get return on investment.

- Look at any fine jewelry purchases as investments in metals(they are)  but still buy vintage or on deep clearance if new. Again, they re-sell well

- I stay out of Costco and places like that.  Invariably spend more on things we don't need.

- Keep cars until they are truly dead. I'd rather spend 1K on repairs than buy a new one. Pay cash for used cars.

What kills us is the high cost of living here. Utilities seem outrageous. Real estate taxes are disgusting. Housing prices are equally disgusting. My husband is rooted; I'm not. Should get interesting into retirement :)
