Already feel myself gravitating toward lifestyle creep. Started spending more on eating out, looking more expensive apartments etc.

Anyone who's been through this and have any thoughts on avoiding?

only buy stuff that will help you get (and maybe keep) the woman or women you're most interested in, and otherwise just buy the stuff you need to look presentable and that actually makes you happier (probably don't need to spend that much to "look presentable," and there probably isn't that much material shit that actually makes you happier)

a few thousand on clothes will help you look good for a couple years. but if you're making "serious money," 3k on a suit, a few pairs of shoes, and some decent shirts and pairs of pants isn't going to break you.

also eating out and drinking with friends is fun, but that also shouldn't set you back that much relatively if you now have "serious money" to play with.

the partner who appreciated my work the most once told me in essence to buy nicer clothes. i was slightly miffed at the time (and i actually wasn't wearing out of place shit), but truth is some limited investments in image can help with the kinds of idiots who care way too much about image (e.g. biglaw partners, women).

then you presumably don't need to spend more money on clothes. i'm not an especially materialistic person, so the premise in your op that you'd want to burn money "just because" seems weird. as i suggested, just spend money as you already do, and additionally only if it helps you get the things you really want (latter category probably doesn't amount to that much).

I was going to post essentially exactly this.

If you are making $X more a month than before after tax, put exactly $X (plus whatever amount you were putting there before) into your Schwab or whatever account every month as soon as your pay check hits your account. Then keep living like you were before.

You will be SOOOOO happy you did this in 10-15 years when you just don’t want another minute of office life

where, 200K is barely "good money" in some places, and even in T3 cities I wouldn't call it "good"

but it's certainly good in ARE country

200K in cities over 500K or so 200K/yr basically means "can send kids to good college" and not much else

Is this a big jump from your previous income? If so, how did you accumulate 500k net worth?

Anyway, my suggestion is to save as much of it as possible. You really don't need a lot of crap to be happy, especially if you're finding fulfillment in being successful at work. And you never know when good times might end...

avoid buying a huge expensive house or car. those are the two biggest items that cost many multiples of whatever smaller items/services you'd pay for.

Same. Travel, eating out at really expensive places, not avoiding frivolous expenses, buying stuff for other people basically takes all the $$ increase

Max out your 401K and HSA. I made 150K this year only paid 10.1% federal income tax.
