OK, OK, don't shoot! I admit I was soft, I didn't have MMM FI money until I was 54 yrs old.
I'm now 62 and mostly RE with more than MMM FI. I can afford to be soft.

I assume it's more in response to the recent glut of people excusing face-punch worthy extravagance. "Oh, yes buy the new SUV, it makes sense for you. It's ok, I spend $$$ on eating out every other day too!"

  There are variants of 'Soft'.
 My newest vehicle is 10 years old (business) my oldest is 20 yrs old. (personal)
 I have a lunch out maybe twice a week, yesterday I spent $6.49 to feed two of us.
Dinner out is more like once a month.

I've seen this a handful of times and I still get goosebumps when I read through the panels.

Same here--I remember seeing this a number of years ago and discovering that my eyes were leaking as I got to the end.  ;-)

Had to share this one, it reminded me of a few times my manager asked me the same question during my last few years. I always gave a  business appropriate answer, but I was always thinking "on a beach in Mexico."

Don't want to clutter the thread, so I'll delete this later, but thanks to those posting these. I enjoy them. :)
I am a former teacher who accumulated a bunch of real estate, retired at 29, spent some time traveling the world full time and am now settled with three kids.
If you want to know more about me, this Business Insider profile tells the story pretty well.
I (rarely) blog at AdventuringAlong.com. Check out the Now page to see what I'm up to currently.

I saw one this morning that reminded us introverts that we need to check in on our extrovert friends during this stressful period.

I shit you not - a temp working for us called me this morning asking for an advance on her paycheck (no) because her new Michael Kors purse got stolen and the only money she had was $20 in cash.

I love this one. Except that meme needs another 0 in it. My wife is into the Chanel and LV.

The film came up on netflix recently - is a great film and this animated gif really captures its essence.

Realizing how many hours at my job my cheapo Kmart shoes cost is what finally got me to go back to college back in the 90's. And I was earning slightly more than minimum wage at the time.

I laugh a little when I see that one because that's kind of how I view myself in life... surrounded by people "living their best life" and having a great time...and I just can't seem to enjoy myself in the same way because I've come to that realization.  After knowing that, the whole world changes...

Sometimes... I wish I was able to let myself go and have fun without worrying about tomorrow.  But that's just the way I'm wired.
