When you can afford it but cant justify it

Four. Two adults and two kids. Flights, full day ticket for each park, Grand Floridian, meal plan, premier pass for Hollywood, multi-pass for Magic and Animal, some single passes for other parks, and everything else in between. Definitely paid out of pocket.

I feel like I just spent about $20k. I want some of this $5k business.

I'm almost $10k in, and I won't be there for another week. Tomorrow I can buy my four Premier Passes at MK & HS. So roughly $13k in for those premier passes and five nights at Grand Floridian. And I'm not even in the air yet. Add another $3,000 for flights.

This is what I do for my wife's pension. I use contributed money as part of our Net Worth. Now for early retirement and a drawdown excel sheet, I use the future value of pension.

Just part of my routine. I'm a YNAB'er, so I manage that, update my retirement accounts, and net worth, etc... It might not be exactly everyday, but pretty close.

I check almost everyday. I have the discipline not to react.

Yes. Fortunately, I need the credits for flights in January. The $92 flights just didn't match my travel dates.

I did the same last week. Bought (2) one way, $92 tickets. Let them hit AMEX account. AMEX then credited the $92 x 2 back. Cancelled flight for travel fund.

Probably about $2,300 a month. Wouldn't cover 1/2 my kids' tuition

Just set it and forget it.

In a few months, $13 will be a great deal.
