I aim for 60% per month (give or take, always at least 50 tho). 75% is badass

the thing is though, a wicked life need not be expensive. I share a huge home with my partner and a good friend, private pool and a view out to the most beautiful beach I've ever seen and I pay less for fixed expenses each month than I did 15 years ago renting a studio apt in Crackdale.
spending and pleasure may coincide from time to time, but never mistake one for the other.
my biggest expense these days is helping to care for my very ill MIL who has no savings, no assets and would be completely fucked were it not for me and her two sons. a safety net to provide for oneself is vital; being old and poor doesn't sound like much fun
There's a huge diff between being a miser and protecting oneself, saving cash that would otherwise be spent buying useless ish and spending recklessly, to me in that light your quote still holds true
