Reviews of How much could you save by resisting lifestyle inflation?

Finn
This calculator is a great reality check for anyone expecting a raise or a new job, helping you visualize how much of that new income is actually building wealth versus funding a more expensive lifestyle. As a remix, it completely replaces the original car-splurge calculator's logic with a brand new model for tracking income and savings rates. You'll want to keep in mind that the 10-year savings figure is a simple multiplication of your annual upgrade cost; because it doesn't factor in compound interest, the true opportunity cost of your lifestyle inflation is likely much higher than what's shown here.
