Besides using the solar panels to do more important stuff than that, the wife would have no urge.

I drink water from the tap. I have arrived at this point in my life, as compared to where I began, by delivering results. For myself, my family, professional results for my employer or client, etc etc. I drink tap water. And drive a 26 year old salvage titled car I bought for $3200 that marks me as an old fuddy duddy (the motorcycle is 30 years old)....as compared to, say, finding myself some coolio matching European imports for the wife and I to preen our net worth status in an obvious way. Perrier....what a riot.
I must have missed your answer to a previous question? Have you ever questioned not saving more towards a retirement so as to not be where you are, or was the fun while younger worth your circumstances now?
