29M/29F, ~$500K saved for retirement. Combined income ~$230K + ~$25K in bonuses.

Currently paying $2,150/month for a 2BR/1BA in Philadelphia.

Considering a strategy where we hyper-save for a few more years, then pull back contributions to 401K match + Roth IRA max and redirect toward a mortgage in the $4,000–$4,500/month range (20% down).

We both have pensions available at 65.

Is this a reasonable coast FIRE-ish approach, or does the jump from $2,150 to $4K+ in housing feel like too big a lifestyle leap? Curious if others have made a similar tradeoff.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Looking for a large couch blanket to share with my SO — not a small throw. Washable preferred, we have no pets. Ideally natural materials (nothing synthetic). Open to buying secondhand on eBay to save some money.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Would a Pendleton blanket do the trick? Honestly I’m less about the brand and more on the quality/comfort

Are there cheaper brands like Eddie Bauer that would provide something good quality and cheap?

I’m looking for some good fajitas! Willing to drive to the burbs too at this point.

I went to cantina Los caballitos in east passyunk and wasn’t impressed.

I’ve had really good tacos in the city (taco heart and Norahs kitchen) but haven’t scratched my Texmex itch
