Martian, I appreciate your concern. Rest assured, I plan to have a million in an account before I retire. Please don't preach about what you think I will spend. As I said, people assume it's not humanly possible to live with expenses as low as we keep them. It's a mix of bargain hunting, coupon clipping, community living, hand-me-downs, freecycle, lentils, beans, rice, potatoes, and low personal needs.

I was raised in a family where this was the case.
My sister is raising her family (4 kids) on about $30,000/year, in Southern California. They want for nothing, except maybe a little more space in their home.
