[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We don’t make as much money.  We can afford SOME nice things.  For me the shift was time.  I used it take the metro because it was cheap.  Uber is so much faster.  I have people clean my house because it saves me time.  I used it so it to save money, but now I just want to save my time for things I enjoy.

I still buy the cheap clothes and cars, but I will spend more money on anything that saves me time.

Partly this. We pay for things that give us back time. That started early as we made more money, because everything felt chaotic before.

We also set a number for ourselves. Once our net worth was over that number, we were able to ease up on our savings and spending and don’t have guilt about it. I would not feel good splurging without all my ducks in a row. [/quote]

This 1000%!

Wed didn't fly Business often when our NW was "only $10-12M", because we still had kids at home, more expenses and it didnt' seem like a good choice.  Now our NW is $20M+ and kids are on their own, we almost always fly business.  We can afford it and it's worth it.  But we are still "Frugal" and fiscally aware.  A 2-3 hour flight does not warrant paying an extra $800-1000+ for business/first.  We will save that money and sit in premium economy in an aisle seat.  Sure we can technically afford it, but it's not a good use of money.  I'd rather donate to a charity than waste it
