    I spend 30% less than expected mainly because i stopped playing golf where it cost circ 25k a month  

I think percentage wise, about the same compared to my income, as when I came here over 10 years ago. I live rural, house paid for, car paid for, eat almost totally at home. I go back to the States to work 6 months out of the year. My rent there is more than I spend total here in a month. My wife take photos of the prices for food and such every year when we return to the States. Unbelievable, 20 to 30 percent. We may decide it isn't worth the money we make there this year. (rent, gas, airfare, food)
