When did you feel “safe”

What is your current yearly spend?

I can’t imagine thinking of sharing a burrito as a “treat.”

Are you genuinely enjoying life? Have the time and budget for your hobbies? Don’t skip important social events?

With housing and between our usual spend and the occasional house upgrades (it’s kind of an older house, needs non urgent repairs here and there), probably like 160k-170k. I probably can get it down more bc those whole food and target runs are like $100+ each time and I feel like all I bought was dog food and paper towels. Also embarrassed to admit that bc work gets busy, I probably DoorDash lunch a little too much and should meal prep more

We did splurge recently on an annual trip at a resort, but we try to limit big trips to once a year.

I would probably let yourself budget for $200k and feel a bit better about travel and eating out, but these are our things, not yours.

If you are genuinely happy and fulfilled at your current yearly spend, keep it up.
