Everything was work, work, save, save, one day we'll get there....meanwhile, an important facet of life was missing. So now, while not extravagent, we manage a few luxuries (kindle, ipad, laptop, nice car) and we go on trips twice a year. One involves hotels, flights maybe, and car rentals while the other is simpler, with camping, hiking, tubing, etc.
So while you are working towards the future, don't forget to actually LIVE while you have the chance. There are no guarantees that you (or anyone) will even get a future. Don't miss chances to enjoy each other and the marvels around us while you can.
