I have been reading the average savings thread. It got me to thinking that at least equally as important is average spending. I know there have been polls and threads here before, but it is a heck of a lot easier to reach financial independence if you can get your spending to the 40's per year than the 80's per year for example.
Spending on toys, such as boats, rv's, pools, second homes, luxury cars etc. all really boost up how much you need to save and spend. Is it really important to you, and more importantly is it worth your life energy to try to support all this stuff? Are hours commuting, the added stress and missing out on your family life worth it?
