When we say we spend under $25,000 CAD per year for our family of 3 and are perfectly happy and content many people don’t believe it let alone can’t fathom how we do it.\u00a0 Last week we covered MANY line items that come at no cost<\/a> and to be honest, this post is a lot lighter than that previous post as we keep the things we do spend money on to a minimum.\u00a0 It’s all about figuring out what YOU value and cutting out the fluff.\u00a0 Let’s dig into the nitty gritty examining what we DO spend our money on.<\/p>\n

Please remember, this is in no way a competition nor are we judging you if you spend over $100,000 per year.\u00a0 There is no right or wrong way of living life.\u00a0 As long as you are on the pursuit of happiness, contentment, & gratitude while also maintaining a high savings rate you’re winning in my books.\u00a0 We are simply illustrating our lifestyle to anyone is interested.<\/p>\n

We’ve split this post up between the bare-bones fixed expenses and cushy discretionary expenses that we could carve out if need be.\u00a0 All figures below are in CAD.<\/p>\n
