Rick, I really appreciate your article. A good friend of mine is a couple weeks removed from a knee replacement, and I was happy to be able to share your encouragement and tips.

Thanks, Rick! I guess you could say it’s everybody else’s job to figure out how to suck us in (marketing, etc) and up to us to decide whether to put up any resistance.

Thanks, Richard! Reading your comments also reminded me of this: Even if there is an extraordinary expenditure that you want to fund that doesn't fit in your otherwise established plan, it could be an option to find an extraordinary income source to offset it. There might be a side project that could provide both income and enjoyment--especially if you have the goal and the reward in front of you as motivation.

Yeah, Mark, keeping up with where money goes is hard enough without breaking up purchases into twelve monthly installments. I like your ideas. There is something very helpful about intentionally and visually separating money for what's important to you--as you propose.

Thank you, Ed! It really is true. I'm thankful for my wife.

We are natural rationalizers. It helps to know that about ourselves so--while in our moments of clarity--we can set up some systems to help make wiser decisions. It made me smile to read your comment that you think this can be helpful for a lot of people. Thank you! I hope it is.

I love this, Ed. What’s your favorite thing to grow in your garden?

Yeah, I think there is something to that. I hope to see more research challenging the common, blanket encouragement to always save more for retirement.

I feel that dilemma too. I’ve also been deterred from traveling much during child rearing years.
