I have a very similar lifestyle to Danielle, me & my other half both have good paying jobs, no dependents but we own our home with no mortgage (we overpaid for years so managed to pay it off early). I am in my early 40s but would rather save my money so I can retire early rather than have another designer handbags & excessive amounts of clothes, don’t get me wrong I do have nice stuff & a few designer bags/shoes & go on amazing holidays every year but we put a good chunk of our income into savings for our future. We have just had to change the amount we save due to our utility bills going up & in recent months my partner has been at risk of redundancy (thankfully kept his job) & although we are comfy in terms of finances we are also sensible with our spending as god only knows what will happen in the future.
Although I’ve got to say my other half is the good influence in all of this as otherwise I would spend my hard earned cash on clothes etc.
