[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm perplexed that OP thinks a paid off house means you don't spend on your house. There's still insurance, property taxes, and maintenance. Maintenance can be a lot-- like a new roof, repointing if brick, painting if not, etc. These things are not just cosmetic, they protect the home. You can't say you'll live on $90K forever and not take account of these infrequent yet 100% predictable expenses.[/quote]

OP has a paid off condo. Keep up.

That a bunch of people are aghast that someone can live off of $2 million in savings with a paid off $500,000 condo is bizarre. You’re telling on yourselves and how out of touch you are. $2 million is a fortune for 99.99% of the world.[/quote]

Of course it is. But probably not to a woman who's saved $1 million by the time she's 30. But there is a lid for every pot![/quote]

Yeah it might not be a lot to her, but if a woman has SAVED a million by 30 then she’s probably super frugal and good with money and most likely doesn’t feel the need to live like a Kardashian. It’s the high earning/low NW women you need to be careful of, those are the spenders. [/quote]
