I figured most people have eliminated any unnecessary spending, was wondering if they have cut into any necessary spending.
That would be no. Still spending like there’s no tomorrow. Actually I’m spending for tomorrow. Getting everything we want done to our house/yard done, so when and if I decide to retire one day, that’ll be something we won’t have to worry about.
Slowly replacing things I’ve let go on an inherited truck. Getting it back to a “nicer truck” for a back up and if anyone needs to borrow it.
Adding a new gun and ammo every quarter.
Getting another freezer to fill up with venison.
I’m lucky, blessed, whatever term you want to use in that I drive a company vehicle back and forth for work. All my trapping/hunting/fishing properties are within 10min to the gates. My kids live within walking distance. My one child still in school is about 5min away. We have everything we need in our little town which is 8min away. We save all money as far as tax returns/bonuses/OT/free government giveaways to afford to do all of the above. Regular paycheck after everything deducted (401K/insurance/etc) pays all the bills and what’s left over is saved. Trapping money and “part time” job before and after regular job, pays for fun.
We’ve lived like this for a while so this isn’t as bad as it may be for others.
