I hear what you're saying, JG. My expenses (or lack of expenses) are very similar. Living inexpensively is so very easy for me, after finding it more enjoyable than having all the extras filling up my life. About six months ago I tackled one of the last issues: too many telephones. My office is in my house, so I had a business line, fax line, cell phone, and house phone. I cut back to one, sick and tired of all the taxes, and found it to be the right decision. And cable never interested me, so I dropped it a long time ago. Air conditioning where I live is handled well by some tall trees. My favorite activity is hiking in the mountains nearby. I love to spend money on travel, and I have the money available.
But I've never felt inclined to criticize anybody who spends their money differently and chooses or must find other ways to go. I had (and still have) some terrific teachers -- my parents -- and that's an asset that's hard to match. They gave me good instincts.
