I love this quote

I love it too! Gas and Switzerland for me.

OMG yes! :-)

Our car payment and a farm near St. David’s for me!

Ha ha ha!!!! That made me chuckle—thanks for posting, Frank! And it's so true!

Certain people complained about the price of eggs. About the price of eggs as it affected other people because for themselves it did not matter since they could easily afford vacations and cottages.
Now we don’t hear anything about the price of eggs. Must be nothing to complain about.

50 years ago, when I was in my 20s, I couldn't afford to go overseas. After raising two kids and a divorce, putting kids through college, then saving for retirement, YES, we have done overseas trips 2-3 times a years since I retired 15 years ago.

Good point!
Getting the absolute last drop out of every bottle of lotion, dishwashing liquid, toothpaste tube , etc. before opening a new one…..but flying Premium or Business class on every trip without a second thought.
And an apartment in Florence on the wish list…..

Priorities.....:-)

Very true, Frank II. And to this day I make my grocery lists based on what is in the weekly flyers while bemoaning the price of beef. But maybe being careful with my pennies all these years is what has allowed us to book those BC seats to Egypt.

I resonated with this, too. Many people say I'm the most frugal person that I know and I really don't like spending money. I just started traveling last year and really enjoy it and it's something I can see a lot of value in, so it's something I'm willing to spend money on. But I also (unfortunately?) feel a little sheepish about letting anyone know that I'll be going to Europe again (and I don't tell too many people). But yes, by keeping track of my pennies, my dimes have taken care of themselves, to paraphrase the proverb.

I have a quarter dated 2004, which makes it 21 years old. Would anything newer be non-adult?

I was just now wishing that I could "afford" a dozen eggs while simultaneously researching flights to Germany.
