Both Roboshark,
We were buying a large house with the idea of selling it while buying a really cheap place to retire too ($20,000.) Also we were paying down credit card debt, bought a $12,000. dollar car instead of the luxuy cars we used to drive. What we found in the process is that we were gaining peace of mind and free time. We didn't have to work as much, did'nt feel trapped by our jobs. We were working on a 10 year plan and I unexpectedly became disabled. The planning we had done served us well, enabling us to escape what would have been a financial disaster and minimizing the emotional costs of a radical change in lifestyle. And Meier Link, It sounds like your learning good tools for survival as long as you don't feel deprived.
