FINAL: We travel all the time for fun and work (budgeted of course) but next year we will cut it loose and do something insane like Europe. Drinking water when you eat out. We eat steak all year long (for a fairly good price). Underbuying things that are temporary, lose value, and to test out. Contentment.
