[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a government worker in my 40's (non-lawyer).

There's nothing wrong with living a "minimalist" lifestyle, if that's what you prefer. Up until last year, I was renting a small 1BR apartment. Living a basic lifestyle allowed me to save $1.5M in my retirement accounts and buy a $500K 2BR condo last year with cash.

Assuming that you have paid off your law school loans and have a substantial net worth, it's time to consider what your legacy will be. You probably have the financial means to support a few causes at this point. I have substantially increased my own giving in the past few years as I have reached financial independence.

Also, there may be a few small luxuries that you want to buy. For me, I spend a premium on electronics, running shoes, Chick-fil-A, and travel. [/quote]

I have to know…[b]how do you spend a premium on chick-fil-A?[/b] How often are you eating it?[/quote]

Hopefully, he/she meant buying Chick-Fil-A franchises.[/quote]

I'm typically eating Chick-fil-A twice a week, but I also bring it to church events, so my average Chick-fil-A spend is $250 a month.[/quote]
