My dog lives like a ****ing king at 1/100th the cost of a whiny, bratty poop machine. Yeah but does your dog.... when he wakes up does he .... I hate you.

I never understood this mindset. Especially considering you could donk off any minute for any reason. My dad never even made it to retirement. I'm not saying to NOT save for the future, but to live like you are poor JUST to save is a terrible way to go through life IMO. You work hard for your money so you might as well enjoy it while you can. There's no need to go to either extreme IMO. So many people think they will travel the world when they retire and save and save never traveling in their youth, thinking when they are 60+ they will feel the same as they do when they are younger and just go all around. That's just not the way the human body works. Live it up a little while saving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcsluggo Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I travelled more when i was younger. My wife and i were married for 10 years before we had kids... those were some nice, carefree (and income free) times. We dind't need to spend much then to have fun... which was good, since we didn;t have much. But we also learned well how to be happy that way. Together. Now, i get more enjoyment from building up security than i do from buying whatever random thing. I drive my cars until they fall apart into rust-oil smears on the side of the road... but i don't really LIKE cars, so i don't care. We both get satisfaction from having my wife at home, caring for our home and kids. We are basically a little-house-on-the-prairie story... inside the beltway. the only thing i would REALLY LIKE to buy...is more time. Less time at work, more time with my wife and kids. More time with my other family, and friends. More time to play the drums (.... i have never owned drums, nor played them)... Just more time. I have built my kids 529 accounts to over $150k each..because i like that certainty and security. I have paid off my house quick (earlier this year...yay!) for the same reason. i max out the Roth and TSP contributions, and random other "savings" accounts... for the same reason. the only two ways i can approximate "buying time" are choosing a career without crazy hours (done) and saving towards a relatively-early retirement (in process).
