[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband has started making 7 figures in the last couple of years (previously at least $500k per year), it really hasn’t changed our lives other than we are padding our savings in a big way. I guess people may be shocked if they ever found out as we don’t live like he makes that much- he still drives a 10 year old car to work, we live in a relatively modest house, (value is less than he makes per year), and I’d like to do a winter  and/or break trip but he thinks airline tickets are too expensive!! It’s a little ridiculous. Not sick to your stomach envy-worthy!  Not sure how much he wants socked away before we can actually enjoy it. I really don’t feel any different or have a different lifestyle than my friends other than I don’t work anymore.[/quote]

It changes your life in that a lot of worry magically melts away. That is such a big thing, and something worthy of being jealous of.[/quote]

True, but we have felt that way for a long time because we live way below our means.  Sometimes I wonder if we are being too cheap and should just get the nice house etc.[/quote]

Don't you worry that some good old college friend can go bunkers if she discovers your wealth?[/quote]

Lol. When I quit my job family was concerned about if we had to adjust our “budget”- no one has any clue. I think that is why my husband doesn’t want to buy anything very expensive or flashy.[/quote]
