I live in Las Vegas and can be at one of a million "hot" clubs, attractions, hotels, restaurants, etc. in mere minutes. Instead, I'm sitting here in my fleece, enjoying a cheap glass of wine, reading blogs and thinking about how not to spend money.

I told my ex-boss that I would have to be on a strict budget in retirement (nothing like you described!) and he said "well, then, why are you retiring, sounds like you need to work a little longer."<BR/><BR/>He doesn't get it--the budget is totally worth it--and I know you get it!Retired Sydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14826873538970471960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4876327247533458481.post-62019646984824346612008-02-26T14:47:00.000-08:002008-02-26T14:47:00.000-08:00I think this was a very insightful post.

Eating lentils every day because you have to compared to eating them because you are buying your future self freedom and peace of mind are two very different acts. I think a lot of family/friends who do not understand why my husband and I live so frugally don't see the 2nd half of the equation. Love your blog BTW!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
