[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s a lot easier to do it gradually over time than to do it cold turkey all at once. We are in the camp who did not upgrade the house and cars as the income rose. The kids activities are expensive (but will end eventually) and we do like nice vacations. But we are pretty frugal on the day to day. [b]If you’ve been living high on the hog for 30+ years, I can’t imagine stopping will be easy. [/b][/quote] This is how I feel. We earn a lot and live pretty large; I think it would be totally depressing to downgrade lifestyle in any way. Thus, I'll keep grinding and probably work until late 60s so we can maintain the lifestyle we love.[/quote]
