Msrp is $ 650 , I see it today at newegg for $ 600 costco for $ 500 . <| sep |> Those dont even look that good tbh . .<| sep |> Forget that crap go over to the end of the meat cooler and get the big double pack of Mama roses . <| sep |> Yes . I have a reasonable level of trust in Tesco when I give them my details for alcohol . I have absolutely no trust in backdoorsluts . net . <| sep |> I disagree . Financial independence is about making choices and sticking to a determined budget with an end savings goal in mind . If your trajectory can incorporate lifestyle inflation then it still counts . I , like OP , enjoy the finer things in life once in a while . Some of those things are easy because i am still working free gym membership and above average health insurance what ! . Others are more deliberate , a big trip or vacation every other or every third year , supplemented by strategic churning . We watch our day to day spending to support these choicrs . We pack our lunches , don ' t buy coffee or sodas , meal plan based on what is on sale that week , only go out to eat when it is something that will make us happy not just when we are tired and lazy my deep and abiding love for annies mac and cheese might help on that one . A little lifestyle inflation is not a bad thing if one is deliberate about your choices . You can have SOME , you just cant have all .
