We also went through multiple job losses, surgeries, huge car repairs, etc. Travel, buy fun stuff, give gifts, help others, work if I feel like it and not if I don’t, etc. During those 10 or so years, our incomes were all over the place. They ranged from a low of about $2,300/yr (no zeros missing there!)

I knew that I was wasting the precious gifts and freedoms that had been afforded me by not being responsible with my money.
