Good for you. Tethered to guaranteed income but working and equipped like a freelancer. The savings is the icing on the cake. I'm retired but commuting got so I had to have a second car, a work car, smaller more economical. I bought my "last" car in 2020, so far I've put only 15 thousand miles on it. So far responses to this post have been positive, Cheers!

Yep. Add making my own coffee and eating lunch at home, I've probably saved thousands. If you figure $20 a day for breakfast + lunch out, *200 or so days in the office, that's $4k a year. Minus a few days off, add in a few happy hours, roughly that much I'd assume.

Wow, good for you. 4k buys a really nice vacation or a lot of smaller fun adventures. Cheers and Blue Skies!
