[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think we also need to have a reset on what makes life enjoyable. Not everyone is meant to have overseas vacations and eat out everyday. Our great grandparents didn’t splurge on things like that but this culture of greed you talk about makes us think we need to. We are bombarded with what others are doing on social media. I don’t think people truly understand what living within your means actually means. If you can’t afford to pay off your credit card then you certainly shouldn’t be having that extra cup of coffee. OP you said what kind of life is that without these luxuries, you need to find happiness in everyday things. If I died today, I’m not thinking about how I never traveled to Europe, I’m thinking about how I could have bonded with my children more. We also live in a world of replace rather than repair. If we learned to fix things instead of rushing out and replacing appliances, we could save there too. You also don’t need to have the most modern kitchen and furniture. Society should accept that hand me down furniture from our parents is just fine. Ask yourself why you don’t like your grandmother cherry furniture, it’s because you are bombarded with ads and pictures of modern styles to make you purchase more. Things are only more expensive because we feed into this culture. [/quote]

Life is about choices, your post is a "me", not "we" post.  We do our own repairs.  We don't travel.  We do fast casual as a nice dinner out.  We shop at Walmart and Aldi's.  Things are expensive because you feed into the culture.[/quote]
