Getting ahead at what? IMO you should live at your means. I've lived below my means for 5 years now and it ain't a good time.
Ahead? Paying house off early, healthy retirement savings, etc?

At our income, most people would be doing multiple european vacations a year, I'd be in a brand new Hellcat AND a Gladiator, house would be done up fancy, etc. We're pretty happy with how things were a while ago, and while we've stepped up the house game in accordance with income a bit, we're in a place we love, so we just want to focus on future stability. My 3 weeks off from work made me realize that I don't want to work my entire life, so we're taking steps toward a somewhat early retirement. Discipline now will pay dividends in the future.
All :dat:
Plus, living below your means will make any unplanned financial hit, like one of you suddenly losing your jobs, a lot easier to deal with.

Good on you two for recognizing the possibility of, and taking steps toward, early retirement thanks to your newfound :waxer: status. :bravo:

retire early JP
Right.

But you also have to park yourself at a means that you like. There's no fun in being full :scrooge:

Like we spent more on a house than we probably should have, but we love it, the area, and it's a place we'll stay a long time so it was worth the extra cost.
Yep.

Glad to see you can DFD from work still. :fuckyeah:

Get some crazy FCA people on here.
Starts at FCA on April 1st.
Invites coworkers to DFD on April 3rd.
Fired for inappropriate behavior on April 4th.

That would almost beat the guy I worked with back when the John Wayne Bobbitt story happened. A new hire on his first full day of work, or second day of employment thought it would be good to break the ice by sending a dick joke to the email alias "everyone". He claimed he thought "everyone" was just his team, not the entire company, including the board of directors.

He was fired by the end of the day and apologies were sent and a company meeting was had. :lolol:

IMO.... do some of that shit now while you're young and your legs and knees work. You might die before retirement age anyway. I don't want to tour europe when I'm 70 and need a cane and can't walk more than 1 mile.

You're young and you have a kid. I'm :jelly: of that situation because I was too fucking stupid to realize what I wanted earlier in life. So now I'll be 55 when my kid graduates high school. Old as shit when/if they have grandkids. I should have had a kid at 26-28 years old.

In other news. I moved offices today. I'm in some fucking closet office with a barred over window that doesn't open and a water damaged 20 year old orange desk.

I hate myself for saying anything to my boss.
