At point point do you start to enjoy the "fruits of your labor"?

[Brad Hunton]

Over the past six years of slowly growing my portfolio I have gotten to the point of my very lean F.I. number. We haven't spent a dime of our rental income since I started and have just reinvested to 13 LTR's and still looking to grow.

My question for all of you investors out there is, when do you start to spend some of your hard earned real estate money?

We have four kids and want to provide them with a bigger/better house, vacations, etc. before they move out. At what point do you actually breathe and enjoy your results? We are by no means done growing our portfolio but want to enjoy life more.
