not the OP, but yeah, it is nice to now have the disposable income.

i was poor for the first 25 years of my life (coming from a refugee family, and my father and my brother died when we tried to left our country, and my mother was cleaning stuff here in our new country, whereas before she was a business woman, but war tend to destroy everything people have) so after all those years of learning and university degree stuff, getting into a job that pays ok, yup, i can tell you, its nice to not wear charity stuff, or eating bread and jam for lunch and dinner :D
