Hehe, well in that case…

Oh no, you’re in a lifestyle recession

Now if you still have all three watches then it’s lifestyle creep.

If you only have the Tag Heuer, then you experienced lifestyle deflation.

Thanks for stopping by sensei!

Don, I’m confused now.

What if I went from a Casio to a Rolex but down to a Tag Heuer?

Just buyer’s remorse… But that’s okay, I’m like that with practically everything that cost more that $5.00.

In fact, if I had the money, we’d be going in another few years… while the kids are still young.

Noooo no remorse about Disney World! I went on vacation during unemployment and I STILL don’t regret it a bit. It’s the best vacation I’ve taken so far.

Yep, IMHO it would be.

If I didn’t normally take a late year vacation in addition to the summer one, then it would be only Lifestyle creep. But since I normally do, then it’s also Lifestyle Inflation.

Just my opinion… It’s all good!

Speaking of Disney, I still have buyer’s remorse (but my kids come first)! It’s about $3,000 more than I normally spend for a vacation at that time! ouch!

The family we went with didn’t experiencing the same anquish I did… In fact, they are already talking about a cruise for next year. I don’t know if I can afford that kind of “Lifestyle Creep” at this time in my life!

I would now like to start building a money base for the next few years!

So would Disney be creep and inflation?

From my perspective, anything that challenges us to improve is a good thing!
