We are doing well at 40. Neither of us hate our job, our kids are healthy so far etc. We are pretty sure one of us will get laid off in the next 10 years, so we don’t want to quit or downgrade jobs.

So our thought is just to spend more. Buy the silly things. Go on nicer vacations. Upgrade our home a bit. Save more for kid’s colleges.

The thing is this seems like the opposite of the fire community that we’ve been part of for the last 10 years. Is lifestyle inflation the real enemy? Is this too yolo to be reasonable in the long run as long as we aren’t touch savings? Love some advice from people that are farther down this path.
