Real Life Examples
Mrs. Williams
Teacher . $60k . 20% Savings
She uses her library card for everything—books, movies, and even museum passes. She hosts monthly board game nights that cost $0 and are the highlight of her social life.
Mr. Johnson
Average Joe . $90k . 10% Savings
He goes to a movie once a month but complains about the $20 popcorn. He has a few hobbies like golf that he enjoys, but he often buys brand new equipment he doesn't really need.
Mr. Smith
Mr. Popular . $120k . 5% Savings
He only goes to major concerts and sporting events, always buying premium seats. He spends $500/month on "fun" but can't remember the last time he just enjoyed a walk in the park.
