what are some things...

that you enjoy being able to spend $$$ on because you are CF? (that you wouldnt be able to/would choose not to if you had children)

Spa days, excessive shoes/clothes, nice vacations. Honestly, I really like the fact that I can just shop/spend (with-in reason of course) without thinking about it too much. Even if it's just a Target run. My bills are paid from one acct, so I know anything else is pure disposable income.

fancy dinners, vacations, and weekends away. I see a lot of this potentially going away if and when we have a kid.

Re: what are some things...

eating out (I'm never in the mood to cook)! I spend too much $$$ on this and I can see having to cut back when/if we have kids.

Re: what are some things...

being able to afford going back to school. if i had a child i don't think i would have been so daring and do a lot of things it took to go back to school to get out of career that burnt me out.

I'd like to get DH on that track !
We spend a bit more on vacations and weekends away, basically on our together time.
Forgot to add, I get to drive a luxury car. If I had children, I couldn't justify the expense, nor the lack of practicality of my car.

Dinners, clothes, vacations, etc. I know if we had a house and especially kids now, we wouldnt be able to do much.

Re: what are some things...

being able to go shopping, be it for clothes, dog toys, stuff for the house - whatever - without really stopping to think. i don't get out of control, but i can shop without worrying if we'll have the money to cover it. we will.
we try to go on small vacations (dh hates to fly so we're limited) 2-3x a year and this year will be my 3rd girls trip to vegas...
my starbucks addiction
manis/pedis/tanning/hair highlighted etc
i know a lot of those expenses would be cut out, or thought of a lot more carefully if we had children we were financially responsible for.
