[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I earn 80,000, live in NY. Spouse makes a bit less. Luckily we are not huge spenders by nature. I’d just like to do more with our house, take more trips, but otherwise we are doing well. [/quote]+1 I live in Nevada. Like you I make 80k which goes farther here than it does in NY. I'm not a huge spender either. My current vehicle is 8 years old and paid off. I don't upgrade my cell phone every year and I cut off my cable TV last year. [b]I live well and unlike many others, the recent cost of inflation increases didn't affect me one bit.[/b] My lifestyle wouldn't change even if I started to make 200k per year.[/quote] One thing I am very grateful for. I may not be rolling in cash or driving expensive cars, but I dont need to do the math before I head to the grocery store to make sure I can afford basics. I am very grateful I can fill up my car without needing to double check my bank account. This is how I grew up, so being able to fill a grocery cart or gas tank without a second thought is incredibly freeing. [/quote] This is how I grew up too. While I don't need to check my bank account and can definitely afford basics plus a little more, it continues to be a process to let the anxiety go. [/quote]
