[quote=Anonymous]We are around $300K HHI with Federal jobs, so great job security and good benefits.  Only 1 kid in public school and only a few small college loans that are long paid off.  We also lived in a super LCOL area before we moved here about 10 years ago, so saved a ton when we lived in the sticks, and continue to put away a good amount.

I would say the last few years we finally feel like money is really not an issue.  Yeah we can not get a private jet to our own private island, but I don't sweat the day to say stuff anymore.  Like we needed to make an emergency repair to the house the other day and I did not even flinch at the $1K cost to repair it.  I buy the expensive cheese at the grocery store, and bring on those organic berries!  I sign my kid up for any activity he wants. Once we feel more confident that Europe has COVID under control, we will head off for a fun 7-10 vacation there.  In the meanwhile, vacations are staying closer to home, and I splurge on the bigger/better hotel rooms.

It feels good to finally be here.  It's a level of breathing room I have never had, including while growing up.[/quote]
