    Finishing training has allowed us to upgrade our 16 year old couch, bedroom furniture my brother got when we was 5 years old and the car we bought for $1000k used during fellowship.

    It took a while to feel comfortable spluring on some new things. We felt like they might disappear into thin air. Sallie Mae still has our butts in a sling for many, many years to come, but we are much more comfortable.

    Luxury items we partake in that we couldn't afford before:

    Fresh seasonal fruit
    bedroom and living room furniture
    Clinique make up products
    regular haircuts
    once a month cleaning person (a man, but nothing close to Sven)
    MDO program for daughter #1
    Babysitter once a week for a couple hours so I can run errands without two kids in tow.
    Once a month tee times for DH
    More frequent trips to visit family and friends
    New family vehicle
