[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are at that point, having been savers our entire lives and are at the other end.  One of us stopped working, the other still works a passion job.  We are traveling more, [b]we did spruce up the house a little bit (paint and throw pillows level of spending)[/b], our kids are launched.  We visit them in different states, try to do at least one, international trip and a couple of national vacations each year.  I understand it is a high class problem to have,  but spending, instead of saving, is a hard switch to make when you've been doing one for nearly 40 years[/quote]

I hereby enter the aforementioned comment into the DCUM canon. "We saved $4M because we never bought throw pillows."

The forum has officially evolved from "[b]we shop at Aldi's."[/b]

Bravo DCUM saver![/quote]

$18 Million networth and I do in fact shop at Aldis in Fairfax, and live in Arlington (but work at a lawfirm in Fairfax).[/quote]

How much of it is in tax deferred accounts or RE or other investments that are not easy to cash out whenever you want it?

People who have their wealth in illiquid assets and tax-penalty ridden 401Ks don't spend much because they may not have much cash flow.  [/quote]
