[quote=Anonymous]We are at about 220k. Two incomes, one full time one part time. SFH inside the beltway, but it’s an “average” house, not a McMansion. We have no kids, which makes it easier for us. Biggest expense is the mortgage. We have plenty saved. Can afford to go on vacation, and can afford relatively high end hotels and such, but I do consider prices—we can’t afford the Four Seasons. We have a second home on the Shenandoah River that DH bought in the 90s; it’s paid off. We renovated it recently and I’m nervous about spending money to furnish it (we got rid of everything that was in there). Buying things like furniture without thinking about the money is definitely out of reach. When I want something like a new bag, I obsess over cost. When I bought my LV Speedy it was pre-loved. We have done an excellent job of saving for retirement and have both inherited a bit.

So, I guess we are very comfortable—all bills are easily paid with me only working part time, and our savings is perfectly on point. With things like food at the grocery store I can buy whatever I want without looking at prices. But we are not in the position to buy furniture or take vacations without considering prices.
