And those both may differ from what I end up spending. <br /><br />I really don't want a wedding so I wouldn't want to spend more than $5000 if I had to have one. <br />A car? I'd top out at $10k<br />A home? I'd prefer to spend no more than $200K but that completely depends on where I ended up. <br />A three week vacation for a family of four? I have NO frame of reference. My family never went on vacation.Revanchehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07293868300535734672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6043163554164764092.post-12684934332510103052010-04-04T15:30:11.253-07:002010-04-04T15:30:11.253-07:00That's right, like $450k being the rock-bottom...That's right, like $450k being the rock-bottom cost of a teardown here in Vancouver. I could say I wanted a little house for $150k here but that's not reality. You can't get a minimum size bare lot for that.<br /><br />It happens that I want to retire to a small town and that I was able to buy for much less there, but if I were to up and move tomorrow we wouldn't have *jobs* and I'd have to homeschool my daughter.<br /><br />For now I deal with the reality of living here (and going to the house for weekends and such), as well as doing the extensive local driving we have to do with the extended family that we live with.<br /><br />His situation is very unique. Not everybody can do what he's done. Not everybody wants to. He *says* you should choose what you value rather than what someone else tells you to value, but I still hear him telling me that his way is best.Shevyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12360963999613712921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6043163554164764092.post-56876966247065219272010-04-04T14:36:41.087-07:002010-04-04T14:36:41.087-07:00I mean I can decide that I get 100K in value out o...I mean I can decide that I get 100K in value out of a home, but that doesn't mean I can buy it for that. The anchors are there for a reason! They're reality!<br /><br />After Trent quit his job, his posts just get more and more defensive about comparing people (himself) to others.DogAteMyFinanceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02571124283388079010noreply@blogger.com
