I own Donna Farrow & Co. 400 plus units under management---- Many investors are winning here--- but I will be upfront and honest--- this is not a "pretty house" market...

With that in mind once you reach that level of savings you should be able to spend more freely.When you have more savings than you will need to take you to the grave you are ready to live less frugally.
