Default Re: Living Below My Means Too Much?

While I dont think stopping retirement savings every month is a good idea, I do think a one time splurge is in order. Sounds like youre doing an excellent job on minimizing expenses on other things.

Do this: Write down a list of the clothes you want and try to be specific. Take a set amount out for the things you need $100 should do.

Heres how I get dressed on a very tight budget:

Sweaters, Coats: Used on Ebay.
Jeans: Save for the best, own only 2 or 3 pairs
Shirts: Ross and AE with coupons online

The most important thing is not to overbuy and buy things you already have, dont really need, costs too much, etc.
