  • Probably no amount.

    We aren’t crazy wealthy, but we have enough equity in a high value real estate market that if we sold our house and moved to many places I’m the world we could live well without being required to work. As a result we have asked ourselves many times: “where would we go and what would we do?” And don’t have a better place then we are (near both our families) or our current jobs. Our kids are in school, so traveling is limited, since we don’t want to make home schooling our job.

    The only thing I wish we could afford is first class airfare when we do fly once a year or so, but I wouldn’t call that life changing.






  • Agree that meal boxes are a good training step. We started using blue apron and after we got the hang of things, realized how much cheaper it would be to buy the ingredients on our own. The bottles of sauces can be pricey up front, but once you have a collection of them, cooking is easier and cheaper. Also, people are really impressed if you can impromptu make something without having to go out shopping.

    I felt like a true adult when I decided to make hummus one day and just happened to have everything for it.







  • I’ve recently found that it is way easier in your thirties to make friends with 70 year olds. They have time to meet whenever you are available, have great perspective and in my case, share more if my interests than people my age.

    Try gardening groups, dancing lessons, bridge groups, local language classes, and you’ll find tons of friends!
