You guys out there with vacation houses, fancy cars, airplanes etc amaze me!
At some point you have got to live life. After a year or two on property, most of these things can be had if you buy smartly, build a realistic budget (not at 85 hours at your current rate) and have an exit strategy in mind. Extra revenue streams are helpful as well. It’s smart to exercise caution, but no so much that you let life pass you by in constant fear of the next black swan.
