I realize people are in different situations, age,income and dependents etc..
But I bet we all have to come to grips if we want to work-and-spend or work-and-save or likely somewhere in the middle. I just wonder where people draw the line.
I mean, I like to live/enjoy while I am here for a long retirement is not gauranteed. But at the same time I want to save for an ER.
Short of winning the lottery it has to be a little of both.
For example who here would not like to go an a vacation to Europe or Hawaii? I'm sure most of us would. However that costs $$.
I like cars so I would spend more money than some on nicer cars. I know cars could be cheap or expensive so do I go the cheap(er) route and miss out on what I like for a few years earlier retirement?
I just got the book "Work Less.." so I have to figure out what is best for me.
But I was wondering if people would say what the think for themselves, I mean is a $10K vacation out of the question or do you still do that but save in other areas?
