Description

If you've ever waded into personal finance content, you’re probably familiar with lifestyle creep. It gets a lot of airtime because it’s a natural financial experience: to spend more as you earn more. But because there's no positive equivalent about intentionally upgrading your lifestyle, all enhancements are cast through this "to-be-avoided-at-any-costs" lens.

Fortunately for us, my evolution on the subject has been entombed for eternity on the internet. I dug through five years' worth of posts for this episode…and I share the equation that helped me determine "how much" creep is encouraged.
