It is helpful to see a real time example. You are so fortunate that your health care premiums are taken care of for now, what a blessing!

Later in life you will stay home more which naturally becomes cheaper.

I think you're doing amazing with both the tracking & staying within the income you're "making'/taking in. There's always room to trim, but I'd say at this point, if you're spending falls within your income & you can comfortably save, a few prioritized splurges might be okay. :-)Hawaii Plannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04760426766801381563noreply@blogger.com
