I agree. Renting should only be temporary.In my opinion, if you can't afford to own a house, you shouldn't call yourself financially-independent (not that you need to own it, just that if you want to, you can buy it). But I prefer owning real estate to renting it so I'm biased.
What I also mean is instead of working for shiny objects or lifestyle inflation, the author could aim for something else.
If I had 30k passive income to live on and didn’t already have other priorities and things I’m focused on, I might take my guitar playing more seriously and try to find a band to play with. I have been in a couple of local bands in the past but never did anything beyond that.
Or learn something completely new just for fun and try it out (like becoming a part time firefighter, getting golf lessons, signing up for a bodybuilding competition to force myself to learn and practice fitness better).
I guess overall it was the wife. But I can’t blame her; I wouldn’t be happy to stop at that level either.
The cheating, however, is wrong no matter how you look at it. I can blame her for that. People do make mistakes and she isn’t necessarily a bad person forever; just can’t lie and pretend it was right.
