Oh man. Living in constant dread of Dave Ramsey's disappointment is a thing. Every time we pay for food at a restaurant I expect him to appear out of nowhere and slap the debit card out of my hand.

[@JYYB]

Why? It’s your life, it makes you happy! I follow his sinking fund methods but other things I don’t because I believe sometimes doing something that makes you happy is better than regret and always thinking about it. If you have debt as long as you are paying it up it’s better than not paying. I use to be strict with my sinking fund and money but I realize I would obsessed over how much money I need and can only use. Once I got ride of that mind set I am more happy. Just don’t over spend and be ok with having what you have because their are other people who has it worse.

[@EmP-2022]

Nailed it! Going to a high end restaurant and calling it a fancy restaurant is a middle class thing!

[@ninanozzi]

just a couple ideas - re-using food containers as Tupperware, saving $3 on one thing and splurging the next day, saying "it was a little expensive but it's quality", using mis match items to serve opposite purposes like a stack of books as a laptop stand.

[@louisesanto]

Middle class: we love our timeshares! Nothing like repeatedly spending time in Branson, Missouri or Orlando, Florida. Those food coupons and restaurant gift cards are the best. Shopping for food in the grocery clearance aisle is a real treasure hunt!

[@maranathaacts1327]

The grocery clearance aisle "is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get" at a great price!😁

I recently, in the last 5 years, have moved from Northwest Arkansas to Cleveland for a couple years, just now to Dallas, and I really miss our little weekend vacations to Branson Missouri! It might be middle class but never take it for granted!! 🤍

I am in a medium middle class household and this is pretty accurate. Mortgage almost paid off, truck paid off We have the unlimited monthly car wash Shop at our local wholesale club Reusable bags in our truck Season passes to the zoo My husband and I frequently comment on neighboring yards lol And we only buy food and clothes that are on sale. Constantly putting money away for kids college and investing in retirement plans/long term stocks The only tv my husband watches are shark tank, CNBC and motor trend 😂 I am a stay at home mom, I work out, cook and clean. We go camping/glamping in our local area three times annually as vacations. Stacks of gift cards from my upper middle class sister and mother in law that we have been given on holidays/birthdays.

And along the same theme, the insisting you can do the job yourself (even if you have NEVER fixed a toilet in your life), because you are absolutely NOT paying $100 for the plumber to cross your doorstep and then some!!
