As I said we are in a fortnuate position compared to most which I am grateful for. Well the thing is, I guess the majority would say it's a lot to sacrifice but I am not sacrificing anything in my opinion. I just don't have expensive hobbies or tastes. The things we enjoy are simple/free. I like PC gaming, working out in my home gym, spending times with friends and family (luckily my friends are quite similiar so we have lots of game nights with console, pc and boardgames, did a retro gaming last night on my projector!). We go to restaurants but nothing fancy. We go for walks, do the usual media consumption. We travel every year to Asia. We don't buy expensive clothes. We do shop at Aldi but we don't limit our spending or eat beans/rice!
Basically we are naturally frugal and are aware of lifestyle creep and believe that our money is better spent investing in our future rather than short term enjoyment (expensive cars, clothes, takeaways every other day, spending lots on house items, drinking/smoking). Of course some people love buying those things and that's fine!
But the things we do enjoy (which are quite low £ wise) we don't limit ourselves on. I upgrade my PC every 2-3 years, I have a decent home cinema system, if we need something we buy it. Just different priorities I guess.
