[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live pretty frugally, but could afford a MUCH more lavish lifestyle than we have. Our annual expenses are only 15% of our gross HHI. People look at us and wonder why we don't just splurge on clothes, cars, furniture, renovations, etc... I shrug my shoulders and respond that what we have works for us. When we need to buy a new appliance, renovate a broken [fill in the blank], or furnish a room, then we look for the best deal we can get and spend the money. Go ahead, make fun of us if you want, but we are financially-independent and could retire at any time without cutting our expenses.[/quote] yeah I'm with you. I've had friends and family look down on me because of my ratty clothes and car. I've noticed that Lebanese and Asians are particularly judgy. And then they turn around and ask me if I have a trust fund because I went on 8 international trips last year - and they ask if they can come with me. Different priorities.[/quote]
