Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Retirement
Early retirement
Rainy days, months, years -like bad health, job loss, divorce, children or grandchildren with important health problems
Being able to buy things you want
Being able to do things you want to do
Being able to refrain from doing things that are not attractive to you (like no need to use Costco, unless you happen to enjoy Costco)
Being able to afford better food
A more comfortable old age
Being able to help other people, including giving your children or grandchildren a leg up in life
Leaving bequests.
I'm sure there are many other things, but in reading the board I became aware that one thing I really appreciate is not having to always be trying to save money. Often, I would rather just do without something than take pains to get it. I see this as an extension of early retirement. Going to work isn't the only thing that can get to be a hassle.
I'm sure many of you have your own lists of what money is for.
