Can you tie this back to FIRE for us?
Bowl Leader
Can almost promise you this was meant to be a reply to the pinned post about lifestyle creep. Show a little grace for the newer folks please :)
You don’t have to live like a monk to FIRE
I budget business class into my vacation budget. If we cannot afford to fly business, we cannot afford to go. Thats all.
I still can’t justify the international business class flight costs yet.
Exactly.
Yeah that’s an insane play Toyota, build some grit and fly economy and save thousands. Personal preference
Anyone try JetBlue mint to Europe? Thinking about it for trip to Paris. Price is reasonable for a lie flat bed which is huge for overnight flight.
OP, I totally agree with you. Unlike others, I feel that it is strongly related to the FIRE plan.
A usual approach:
“What will you do by achieving FIRE?”
“Live free, travel, enjoy life!”
“Then, why will you not do it if you’re coming closer to your FIRE numbers??”
I’m 45 and on target to reach my FIRE number by 50. Over the last couple of years, I've started to feel freer to spend more on expenses like business class flights, better cars etc.
I have to agree with you on that. When I am flying out of the country I always upgrade. I can't stand to be squished into a regular seat duinrg a long flight.
