How was the skydiving? That's a perfect example of what I'm talking about. I fully intend to check skydiving off the list before i hit 40. Sweet! How was the skydiving?

It cost a good bit of money, but that is what money is for - living! We had a great time! :) We still save a lot, but we make time to do a few special things every year. This was our first time skydiving, but we also enjoy doing things like going to concerts and shows, visiting family and friends, and we took a cruise for our honeymoon. I'm all about having new experiences! :) I agree 100%, which is why my wife and I (along with a few other family members and a friend) went skydiving yesterday.

Being responsible, financially, is a balancing act between saving for the future and living for the now. Too much in either direction and you'll really grow to resent your plan. Most of my life, unforunately, has been spent living for the now. However, I saw the error in those ways and am now beginning to save for our future. Thanks for mentioning my post.
