I think personally this theme is very important for people like us,because if we want to own a good lifestlyle we have to do extraordinary things,and not to follow the way that most of people do..

Here I share with all of you a useful article from Tim Ferris,to calculate your ideal lifestyle costing:

And this one that I'va just read about Derek Pankaew "You’ll Never Be Financially Free Until You Look at Your Finances Brutally and Honestly"

Which is your current spending and which is the expense that would have your ideal lifestyle?

For example,let's start with me..my ideal lifestyle is being fitness-bodybuildider while I stay in different places of the world in 6 months-1 year period..if it is posible in the best places of the capital to have great logistics..

-I have only calculated my bodybuilding and flat cost..bodybuilding(including gym ,food,supplements,and roids) cost me more or less 600 € per month and the flat 400 € if I live alone

Good idea for a thread and even if you don't use the calculator, it's a good exercise in thought.

After you calculate the cost of your "ideal lifestyle," though, don't forget the cost of health insurance, savings, and investments, etc - ESPECIALLY if you're self-employed or planning to be. Add these in when figuring out how much monthly income you'll need.

Just an important reminder.

Beyond All Seas

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe.
To be your own man is a hard business. If you try it, you'll be lonely often, and sometimes
frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." - Kipling
