good on you. just having the ability to do this (sadly) sets you apart in these times.
the ability to prioritize costs allows you to have a standard of living higher than your income would suggest. this translates incredibly well to having more money. when you do make 100k you'll find yourself spending 50k and still living just as well as everyone else who makes 100k, or spending 100k and living like someone who makes 200k. most people don't prioritize because they never spend the time to sit down and really figure out what is important to them.
