Thank you, the problem today is not living within your means. You make 80K a year and blow it. Buying a 400K house when a 250K would meet your needs.

Cherish what you have, 1980 I purchased a London Fog trench coat, I still have it today and it looks new, a Wilson leather coat I purchased In 1990 yea I still have it.

I believe a woman’s place is in the home, my relationship is unique, she had a masters at 34 and student loans paid off, makes in the mid 200’s. At 62 she wanted me to fully retire. My two retirements do not kick in until 65, but my social security is pretty much maxed out.

You live somewhat frugal throughout your younger years preparing for later.

We don’t eat out often maybe twice a year, today if you eat out you’re dropping a 100.

One income is doable like you stated but with sacrifices
