Want to learn some lessons. On how to live with grace with household TC less than 250.
I recently took a lot of beating on personal front during this whole covid , getting into rifts with my wife, disliking people around me etc etc. I think the idea of chasing TCs and always having an unsettled mind (thinking that I should change jobs, do LC, read DDIA) is the real cause of it. However when I step into stores like whole foods or I looks at rents or I look at day care fees I feel overwhelmed that I am dont earn what I do earning right now then I just cannot manage. Top 5% average household is 273k and we both together make 425k (which makes us in the top 2%). So where I am doing wrong ? I dont want to chase TCs anymore but constraint my expenditures. Want to understand how people outside Software run their home efficiently and effectively. I need some real life tips.

And for people with less well, they don't go 3 times a year (!!!) on a 5k vacation. They live in L/MCOL. They don't buy brand new cars. Etc
