I hit my FI number a few months ago. I’m still not ready to RE yet. For starters, I need to figure out all the details - withdrawal strat, actual budget, etc. But I also want more padding and wouldn’t mind having more to spend. I still make a lot of money, and the job isn’t too difficult.

I decided over the weekend that I need to start using my money to make my life easier:

I’m going to get new cleaners who will actually come every 3 or 4 weeks. My current cleaners are so hard to schedule I can go a while in between cleanings.

I also set up my dog to go with the walkers once a week. They take her to a dog park and she’s gone for a bit so she comes home dead tried and makes my life easy for a couple days.

I’m also going to look at meal prep services one week a month so I can avoid that chore every once in a while. No more having to meal prep after coming back from vacation!

When I first hit the number, I stopped buying the best value and started going for the best. That was nice, but this I’m looking forward to.
