I'm in a similar boat. Its definitely a luxury that comes from making decent money at a job that respects your personal time.

But also it does require some amount of focus on improving your own lifestyle because many people spend so much time scrambling to get their finances in order when the world is setup to separate one from their money that by the time you have your finances in order you can be too exhausted to try to do anything with yourself

    That's a good point and I can't take credit for having my finances in order. My partner is amazing and much better at budgeting than I am. I think that is another big factor for me. Having a supportive partner to encourage and grow with makes a night and day difference. I'm lucky and grateful but also work hard to have a better life.
