Some of us don’t have to trick ourselves. I own a modest house and modest car, they fit into my budget and put me so far ahead of my peers financially people don’t believe me when I say how good things are.

A car especially is just a tool, I care as much about someone’s car as I do the hammer in their toolbox, but I am not a car person.

It comes down to what you value. Stability and financial freedom matter more to me than any fancy thing I could buy.

The ultimate luxuries are time and freedom. I'm jealous of those with more of these but not those with a bigger house or car.

They definitely are, which is why I forego things that take them away from me. No children or dogs in my future.
