[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well OP, it sounds as though you are a high earner as well as a hard worker and very frugal. Not everyone wants to live like you do - many people would find it ludicrous to pass up a $5.99 shirt when they have a big bank balance - but they don't have to live your life and vice versa, so that's OK. It sounds as though your goals and values are aligned. Nice job.[/quote]

I suppose that is true...'to each his/her own' and all that.  I guess it comes down to choices:  we do spend a great deal on vacations, though I'm known to lug car seats and our own GPS to save $20/day as well as use discount codes and check lots of places for hotel/car, etc. discounts.  So it isn't as if we are scraping by in some freezing home while my kids are in rags.  We just don't live high on the hog nor do we flaunt our money.

It just goes against my grain to buy something for $20 when I can get it for $5.  So yes, I wouldn't want a $5.99 shirt that we don't NEED when I know it might be on sale the next week for $1.  This is true for me whether we have a million in a bank account or $100 in a bank account.  Saving here and there really adds up, I feel.[/quote]
