Quotes to ponder:

"We lack for naught in these three categories. Somehow, we have resisted the urge to keep up with the Joneses."

"Reducing your big expense categories will give you the most freedom and flexibility."

"Saving money has a triple effect on your finances. It not only gives you more money now, but it also provides more capital to invest and decreases the amount you need in investments to sustain your lifestyle long-term."
