And again, as long as we are on track, I'm fine with spending some bonus money. I guess the next post I need to write is the changes we've made in our lifestyle! :) Even with that though, I foresee you being disappointed with a lot of the choices we make/will be making in the future. Yes, we're serious, but we're also happy with a 3 year plan. We're not going to kill ourselves and deprive ourselves of ALL fun to do it quicker. We went out to dinner & a movie on my birthday this month too, and when you throw in the cost of a sitter, it's not a small amount. But we budgeted for it, and we're not going to feel guilty for it. I'm grateful for the comments, and will listen to constructive criticism just fine. But we will make our own decisions as to how we go about this.

You already had your "fun" - almost $100K worth for years and years. Trust me...dump the idea of this fun money (or curb it back to about $100).
