I know this is blasphemy to many people, but I don't really care that much for bacon. We have not cooked any here since a few years ago when we were given some home grown tomatoes and we made BLTs. That was good stuff. We we go out to breakfast I never order bacon. If it is on a burger it is OK, but I never order a bacon burger.
And yea tabs, it is nice to have enough money to be 100% debt free, and still have a comfortable income and investments and savings that are increasing. We go out to eat and drop 75 bucks for dinner fairly often. Even on a typical Friday night we eat out but a meal for two is usually 40 bucks minimum. A lifetime of both of us working hard worked out great. My wife is retired and I own a business that is growing and making money. I am damn lucky to have good health and the option to not pinch pennies.
I am a cheap bastage on many things. I drive my same El Camino that I bought 27 years ago, and my 911 that I bought 22 years ago. I just bought a new lawn mower because my old 26 year old mower wore out. And I mow the yard myself and save the 50 bucks a week I would have to pay to have it done. I would rather spend that on a nice dinner out instead of some Mexican mowing my yard.
I have been dead broke and lived on a buck per WEEK on food, yea really. That sucked. Been there, done that, have the the t-shirt. Life is better now.
